Evaluation :

1. What were the aims of the league of nations?

The League of Nations was the first international body whose major goal was to uphold
international peace. The League's objectives included disarmament, preventing war by
collective security, resolving international conflicts through negotiation, and enhancing
welfare on a worldwide scale.

2. Why it was weakened when the US did not become a member?

It was very difficult for the League to take any action because of unity. The League
suffered heavily from the absence of key powers—Germany, Japan, and Italy eventually
withdrew—as well as from the absence of the United States. Due to the League's
inability to construct a strong standing military without American military support,
nothing was ever built, which neutralized the League and leaving it unable to effectively
enforce its judgments.

3. Why the league was a failure?

The League's failures in the 1930s were due to its own members as well as aggressive
states weakening its power. The League was ignored by Britain and France, the two
most powerful members, in their efforts to satisfy Hitler, which is seen to have
contributed to the start of the Second World War.

4. How the road to war was paved with political, economic and military
conditions?
The list of potential shift pattern is well known by this point: the end of the bipolar era,
a new wave of democratization, the globalization of information and economic power,
more frequent attempts to coordinate international security policy, a wave of sometimes
violent expressions of claims to rights based on cultural identity, and a redefinition of
sovereignty that places new obligations on states to their citizens and the international
community. Many things in the world are changing as a result of these shifts, including,

it would appear, the nature of organized violence and the methods used by
governments and others to try and control it.

5. Why the run on the banks and the stock market caused a worldwide
depression?
The greatest and longest economic depression in modern history was the Great
Depression, which lasted from the late 1920s through the early 1930s. It lasted for
about ten years (from late 1929 to around 1939), affected almost every nation on
earth, and was characterized by rapid drops in industrial production and prices
(deflation), mass unemployment, bank panics, and sharp rises in poverty and
homelessness rates. Because of their declining financial reserves, many banks failed.
The Federal Reserve lowered the maximum amounts of cash reserves that banks were
previously required to keep in their safes, and many banks also made their own stock
market investments, both of which contributed to this.
