IB History Topic The League of Nations and Europe Revision Notes (HL) | RevisionDojo

Overview

The League of Nations was created after World War I as part of the Treaty of Versailles.
Its goal was to ensure peace through collective security, prevent future wars, and resolve conflicts through diplomacy rather than violence.
The League struggled to enforce its decisions, especially as the 1930s brought increased aggression from fascist powers like Italy and Germany.
It had limited power, no standing army, and was weakened by the absence of the USA, and later by the withdrawal or defiance of key powers like Japan, Germany, and Italy.

Successes and Failures of the League in Europe

Successes

The League resolved minor border disputes like the Aaland Islands (1921) between Finland and Sweden.
It helped settle the Upper Silesia dispute (1921) between Germany and Poland with a peaceful plebiscite.
The League managed the Greek-Bulgarian crisis (1925), stopping the fighting quickly and fairly.
It helped refugees and fought diseases through its humanitarian agencies.

Failures

It failed to prevent Italy's invasion of Abyssinia (1935) and Japan’s invasion of Manchuria (1931).
In Europe, the League could not stop Hitler’s remilitarization of the Rhineland (1936) or Germany’s expansion into Austria and Czechoslovakia.
It couldn’t enforce economic sanctions effectively or take military action.

Tip

Explain why the League was successful in small cases, but failed when major powers were involved.
