The League of Nations seemed doomed from the start, for lack of having the United States on its side; they were facing military problems. Likewise, due to World War I, France and Great Britain were the only two major powers in the league. Furthermore, these two powers were exhausted both financially and militarily, and therefore unable to carry out their orders. Moreover, the league's failures started from its own alliance. Of the twenty-six articles of the convent of the league, article 11 brought into play the status of the league as a peace-preserving organization. Article 11 stated: "Any war or threat of war, whether or not immediately affecting any member of the League, is hereby declared a matter of concern to the entire League, and the League will take any action that may be deemed wise and effective. to safeguard the peace of nations.

It seemed to outside nations that the League of Nations was breaking its own rules and contradicting itself. Finally and above all, in 1923, during the Abyssinian crises, the League failed to enforce its decisions, but changed them in favor of the Italians, the aggressors of the war; which made it lose its credibility with other nations of the world. On the other hand, it failed to carry out its first test of effectiveness in aid provided to its first country in need of aid, Vilna; but he allowed the Poles to stay in Lithuania and showed the world how weak and militarily wise the league of nations was..
