Why LoN fail Manchuria

• The League of Nations thought that America would not support the sanctions, limiting their impact.
• Economic sanctions could damage the rest of Europe, potentially leading to the loss of 30000 British coal miners' jobs.
• The League of Nations did not close the sanctions because they wanted to prevent war with Italy and maintain relations to help combat Hitler and communism.
• France and Britain needed an ally against Hitler.
• France and Italy signed the Stresa pact in 1935 against German rearmament.
• The plan for France and Britain to ally with Italy failed as in 1936 Italy and Germany signed the Rome-Berlin axis.
