An Unbalance Balance of Power - The Failure of the League of Nations

More about the book

Focusing on the League of Nations' shortcomings, the book examines its failure to maintain world peace due to the absence of major powers, disunity, poor organization, and lack of commitment. Established post-World War I to prevent conflicts, it served as a precursor to the United Nations, achieving some successes but often prioritizing self-interest over conflict resolution. The narrative highlights the challenges faced by the League, including the refusal of some governments to acknowledge its authority, ultimately leading to its dissolution during World War II.
