The league of nations was an political organisation set up after world war 1 in the treaty of versailles.

The representatives of all the countries were involved including the big 3. The big 3 were Lloyd george (britain PM), georges clemenceceau (france PM), woodrow wilson (american president). Germany was not aloud in the league at this time and joined later on in 1926, japan and italy were also involved.

The league of nations lasted from 1920 to 1939 when world war two broke out.

The league of nations was based in geneva in switzerland this was because switzerland is a neutral country and is in europe.

The league of nations was set up after world war 1 to prevent all future wars. All representativies from all countries would meet up in geneva and discuss there problems rarther than going to war over them.

Japan was the most powerful country in asia but the wallstreet crash ment japan could'nt trade with america and lost alot of money. Japan was forced to invade manchuria for land and money.

In September 1931, the Japanese claimed that Chinese soldiers had sabotaged the Manchurian railway  in Korea, which Japan controlled. Japan attacked and by February 1932, had brutally conquered Manchuria.

Meanwhile, in January-March 1932, Japan attacked and captured the city of Shanghai in China itself. In March 1932, China appealed to the League of Nations. In april 1932, a league delegation led by lord lytton arrived in Manchuria to see what was happening, and in October 1932 it declared the Japan should leave. In February 1933, a special assembly voted agianst Japan, so the Japanese told the league to stick it and walked out of the league of nations. So the league did very little and had no effect on the crisis and in July 1937 Japan also invaded China.

This picture is howing how the banks and the econamy is going bankrupt because is it not trading with other countries and business are going bust and this has a circular effect and other countries go bankrupt aswell.

This helped end the league of nations because no money was coming into the league as countires went bankrupt and representives in the league were to busy sorting there own countries out rather helping others.
