Disarmament was the most effective step in the desire to prevent world ward and to establish world peace.However, the League did not manage to achieve success. The League of Nations were incapable to stop Hitler from expanding his army which was the main cause of problem which made Hitler bolder to start world war 2. kershin huangjun Side: Yes, LON was inept!

Disarmament was suppose to prevent another world war 2 and establish world peace however, the league of nations was not able to succeed in making other countries to cooperate with them to disarm themselves.The League's failure to intervene the Abyssian Crisis in 1935.This incident would later convince Hitler that the League would not be able to stand in the way of his ambitious plans for expansion.Therefore,the League of Nation was the root factor that caused world war 2. Side: Yes, LON was inept!
The factors that LON is blamed for WW2 are the failure of the disarmament process and the that they did not manage to stop Hitler.The league did not achieve much success in disarmament.Examples like League commission to prepare for world disarmament conference was a failure as Britain and France refused to cooperate.The LON did not stop Hitler from remilitarisation of the Rhineland. LON condemned Hitler's actions but did nothing else.This made Hitler to become more aggressive. This eventually led to WW2. WengYao WenTing. Side: Yes, LON was inept!

The LON's weaknesses in its structure and organisation,its association with the Treaty of Versailles,and a lack of commitment made the LON should be held most accountable to the WW2' s start.The example would be the failure of the disarmament process,and the Abyssinian Crisis. Side: Yes, LON was inept!
When Hitler remilitarised Rhineland, he used the Franco-Soviet Alliance as an excuse that Germany was under threat from France and Soviet Union. Britain was in the state where they wanted to prevent further unnecessary happiness or violence. France was about to hold an election during that time and the politicians didn't want the French to think that they wanted to start a war. If the politicians had responded to Hitler's actions, they might lose votes as the French didn't want any wars. The league of nations did not try to stop hitler from remilitarising Rhineland which in turn made Hitler think that the League of nations was weak and would not do anything to stop him from breaking the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler would then think that the League of Nations were powerless and lack of authority as they could not even stop Italy from invading Abyssinia. League of Nations aims were to resolve crisis and maintain peace and order but they could not do so and therefore made Hitler bolder which pushed German further in to war. Therefore, Hitler managed to remilitarise Rhineland as the League of Nations condemned Hitler's actions which in turn was one of the factors that contributed towards the outbreak of World War 2. - rayna and celest Side: Yes, LON was inept!

The League Of Nations was inept as they had many weaknesses and was not successful. If LON was successful, Hitler would not have a chance to start WW2. Therefore, LON was the root cause of WW2 There was a collapse of the balance in power as Austria and Serbia turned into a worldwide conflict involving the major world powers. When Europe was left in a state of political instability, the balance of power collapse. The various parts of the league of nations did not work well together,however, Hitler worked well with his people. The LON also did not have enough power to reinforce the terms of the treaty of Versailles on Germany,even when Germany had broken the terms.When Germany had broken the terms,the league of nations had ignored what they had done. Side: Yes, LON was inept!
failed attempts to enforce the disarmament and collective security and the disarmament conference made were a FAILURE as the majors powers put their own interest first.this cause countries like italy japan and germany to realised no one is going to stop them that why they are so bold to invade other countries.

Yes League of Nations was inept , it failed terribly and had many weaknesses. One of the weakness is LON wasn't as powerful as Hilter , it cant stop Hitler if LON was successful World War 2 wouldn't happen so root cause of World War 2 is League of nations . One of the reasons League of nations was accountable for the start of World War 2 was the Disarmament between the nations in LON which causes lack of trust between them which then made Hitler took advantage of the lack of trust and then taking them out one by one . Therefore World war 2 happened . -Silvin , Aiman Siewmai Side: Yes, LON was inept!

The League of Nations (LON) should be held most accountable for WW2's start. The LON was weak therefore, it failed at several factors such as disarmament,Abyssinian Crisis and the re-militarization of the Rhineland. Its weakness also paved the way for Hitler to aggressively pursue his expansionist policy. The failure of disarmament meant that powerful countries still had the military capacity for war and there was nothing to stop them from engaging in conflicts. This meant that the LON was the main cause as they failed to achieve world disarmament. The League's failure to intervene in the Abyssinian Crisis in 1935 served as a prime example of its ineffectiveness in maintaining world peace and resolving conflicts. this incident would later convince Hitler that the league would not be able to stand in the way of its ambitious plans for his expansion. Therefore the LON should be held most accountable for WW2's start. The re-militarization of the Rhineland allowed Hitler to test the response from Britain and France. Given that the two nations did not stop Germany from breaking the Treaty of Versailles , it emboldened Hitler and made him want to expand Germany's territory further. Hence, the LON should be held most accountable for WW2'SS START. Dylan and shihui :D Side: Yes, LON was inept!
the league of nations caused war as countries like germany , japan and italy feel that there was no one to stop them from achieving their aims . they failed to use collective security and also they were unable to make the countries surrender their weapons which lead to the disarmament conference .The Abbyssinia crisis was also another factor that triggered world war 2. World war 1 and the peace settlement that signalled its end, the treaty of versailles , left bitter divisions between and among the european nations , however, the LON's structure was flawed and its methods were inneffective in dealing with conflicts where strong nations were involved and this lead to another full scale war. Wan Ning and Yulis <3 Side: Yes, LON was inept!
The LON did their best in disarmament.Hitler's aim was to get back what Germany lost in WW1.LON alone was in no control to stop Hitler.Besides,the LON has already many responsibilty in maintain peace even in other countries.It's not possible to stop Hitler.Therefore,WW2's start was because of Hitler.If there something else had to be accountable for the start of war,it should be the countries that did not cooperate with the LON Side: No, Hitler was THE devil!
The league of nations should be held responsible as they failed to stop Germany from starting another war. Hitler did not see the league of nations as a threat as they lacked credibility and power which can be seen from their attempt of disarmament in 1926 and 1930's where the major powers refused to cooperate.Therefore, the league of nations should be held responsible for World War 2's start. Side: Yes, LON was inept!

Certainly the league could not dominate its ascendancy and the British and French went to be a bit more lenient in it's dealings with the Germans;US non-membership was a vital part in the league's failure to achieve its primary ambitions of preventing a WW2. Side: Yes, LON was inept!

The LON let Hitler get away with too much. The Rhineland was probably they're best chance at stopping him - as his army would have lost (was weak at the time) and Hitler had very little confidence. The more the LON allowed - the greater his confidence. Lack of action in Manchuria and Abyssinia set an example to Hitler that they were no consequences for aggressive behavior. This as well as Chamberlain's policy of appeasement meant a second war was certain. Side: Yes, LON was inept!

Hitler's expansionist policy played a major role in contributing toward the outbreak of World War 2. When he first came into power, he already started to challenge the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. And adopted a aggressive foreign policy. He always took advantage of events and used violence to achieve his goals. Hitler made Germany pull out of the League of Nations, and the Geneva Disarmament conference. This allowed Germany to increase its military capabilities, allowing Hitler to achieve his expansionist aims. He violated the conditions in the Treaty of Versailles by initiating a massive rearmament of Germany's defence. He lied to the league of nations that his remilitarisation plans were committed to peace. Hitler ordered troops to remilitarise the Rhinelands that was previously demilitarised by the Treaty of Versailles, this violated the conditions in the Treaty of Versailles. He used the Franco-soviet Alliance as an excuse, saying that Germany was under threat from the alliance between France and Soviet Union, and should be allowed to defend their own land. Hitler made Germany involved in the Spanish Civil war to divert both Britain and France's attention from his expantionist plans in eastern Europe and allowed him to test the strength of his army.

Hitler should be held accountable for the start of World War Two. Even if The League of Nations were weak, it did not give Hitler a right to breach the Treaty of Versailles. He remilitarized Rhineland, involved in the Spanish Civil War, and invaded numerous countries. Hitler remilitarized Rhineland to test if The League of Nations would react to his action, when they ignored him, this made him expand his territories for militarization. He obviously breached one of the terms in the Treaty of Versailles and conscience would have told him that it was wrong. This was one of the first steps of provoking the League of Nations. The Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact was signed to avoid war with Soviet Union, since Soviet Union was just around the corner. This means that he already planned go to war. This pact was signed to ensure that no war was to happen with Soviet Union and prevent further trouble of sending supplies and weapons to the other side of Germany. Hitler had already gotten ready for war and was not afraid of triggering the declaration of war on Germany by Britain and France. Thus, Hitler should be held accountable for WW2's start.

Hitler's attempt to remilitarise Rhineland to test Britain and France was a factor contributing to world war 2. After remilitarising, he felt that France and Britain were afraid of German and himself and he became emboldened and more ambitious. The invasion of Czechslovakia was also a major contribution to the start of World War 2. Due to him being emboldened and feeling ambitious, he invaded and took over the rest of Czechoslovakia. Invading a country means threatening to start a world war against a country, this made the LON place more attention towards the actions of the Hitler and Germany. Thus, when Hitler does another war threatening action, the LON would take action against Hitler and his forces after being unable to sit back and let them continue with their rampage and declare war against Germany. - Xin Ping and Jun Nan Side: No, Hitler was THE devil!
Hitler was the devil because he did many things to trigger World War 2 like the invasion of Poland. Hitler had demanded for the 'Free City of Danzig' to be part of Germany because it was a port city and most of it's population was German. Hitler wanted a railroad built across the Polish Corridor to reconnect with Germany, however the Polish leaders distrusted Hitler and feared the loss of Poland's independence. There were more tensions and negotiations between Poland and Germany. When Hitler demanded for Danzig again, Britain and France were willing to resume negotiations with Germany. Therefore, his invasion of Poland convinced him that the League did not want to start a world, thus he became bolder. Hitler invaded Poland on 1 September and Britain and France kept their promise and declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939. Jacqueline Henghong Side: No, Hitler was THE devil!

Hitler should be held accountable for the start of World War II. His expansionist policy played a major role in contributing towards the outbreak of World War II in Europe. When Hitler rose up to power in 1933, he immediately began challenging the Treaty of Versailles and also adopted an aggressive foreign policy. The German people resented the Treaty of Versailles and they all believed that Hitler's actions were justifiable. Hitler's invasion of Poland was the last straw that had triggered World War II. Since 1937, Hitler had demanded that the 'Free City' of Danzig to be a part of Germany. Hitler also wanted a railroad to be built across the Polish Corridor to reconnect East Prussia and Germany again. However, Polish leaders distrusted Hitler fearing that Poland's independence would be lost. When negotiations did not go according to to his wishes, Hitler invaded Poland on 1 September. Since Britain and France are allies of Poland, they declared war on Germany. weifen yechen Side: No, Hitler was THE devil!
German's invasion of poland led to the breakout of WW2. Hitler wanted to have a railroad build across the polish corridor to reconnect Germany with east prussia which was considered to be a part of Germany. Tension was increased between Poland and Germany which caused the negotiation of Poland's independence to break apart. Britain and France realised that Hitler could not be trusted as he was made to be the devil. This allowed Hitler to pursue his aggressive foreign policy without having to regard the objection and threats from the League Of Nations and allowed Germany's rearmament. He also made use of the weakness of the league of nation to prove them to be ineffective when they faced strong and powerful countries. This contributed to the British to adopt a policy of appeasement to satisfy Hitler and prevent the outbreak of another war. Therefore this caused Britain and France to declare war on Germany. jingying heidi Side: No, Hitler was THE devil!
