The document summarizes key weaknesses of the League of Nations that contributed to its inability to prevent World War 2 from breaking out in Europe. Specifically, it notes that the League had (1) structural weaknesses without an army or means to enforce sanctions, (2) lacked full membership from major powers like the US and USSR, and (3) failed to prevent German and Italian expansionism in the cases of Manchuria in 1931 and Abyssinia Crisis of 1935-1936, demonstrating the inability of collective security to deter strong nations.
The slides are a bit bare for now, but this is the very quick summary of the important events and developments in Chapter 6. We learnt about Japan's history and how it affected its rise to global power. We saw how the crises in Japan as well as external forces led Japan into conflict with the nations around it, eventually culminating in WWII in Asia.
Lesson 1 of 4: The Rise of Hitler - Circumstances in Germany
In this lesson, we studied how the circumstances in Germany contributed to Hitler's rise to power. First, we made connections between what we studied in Chapter 1 (Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations) and the start of Chapter 3. Then, we looked at the three major issues in Germany: the weakness of the Weimar Government, the problem of hyperinflation, and the severe impact of the Great Depression.
These slides summarise the impact of Hitler's rule over Germany. Just like Stalin's Soviet Union, Hitler's Germany was impacted in 3 areas - political, social and economic.
In this lesson, we looked at the impact that Stalin had on the Soviet Union after he had taken over. We started out by considering his economic impact, which focused on his Five Year Plans.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Sec 3N Hist (Elec) Chapter 4.1: Outbreak of War in Europe (Weakness of the LON)
1. Weakness of the League of Nations
Hitler’s expansionist policy
Policy of appeasement
2. Weakness of the League of Nations
Hitler’s expansionist policy
Policy of Appeasement
3. Formed at the end of WW1
Aims
◦ Collective Security
◦ Disarmament
4. After WW1, there was nobody/ no country in
dominance in Europe
Peace in Europe was built on the Treaty of
Versailles and the League of Nations
By 1935, the League had suffered many
blows to its credibility
Although it was officially dissolved in 1946,
it had become useless long before that
5. Reasons of the Weakness of the League
◦ Structural Weakness
Seen as a league for victors
Ineffective against strong nations
No army
Economic sanctions unenforced
◦ Limited membership
USA not in
USSR not in until 1934
◦ Post-war attitudes of major powers
Pacifist mentality (“nua”/slack mode)
USA isolationism policy
6. Manchuria in 1931
Failure of Disarmament
Abyssinian Crisis 1935 - 6
7. The problem with talks of disarmament was that it
was too vague (unclear).
o Article 8 (of LON): “The members of the
League recognize that the maintenance
of peace required that reduction of
national armaments to the lowest point
consistent with national safety and the
enforcement by common action of
international obligations.”
8. o The agreement said that
countries could keep a
minimum level of arms needed
for self-defence…
o BUT, it was not at all clear what
this level was.
o A Disarmament Commission was
set up to persuade countries to
get rid of their weapons…
o BUT, the Commission had no
way of forcing countries to
disarm.
9. Organised by
the League?
Success? Details
Washington Naval
Conference (1921)
NO YES Set a ratio for tonnage of capital ships among
major powers
Locarno Treaties
(1925)
NO Y/N Terms of the Treaty of Versailles accepted by
the Weimar government
League
Commission to
prepare for World
Disarmament
Conference (1926)
YES NO Britain and France refused to cooperate
Kellogg-Briand
Pact (1928)
NO NO Agreement that conflicts should be resolved
in a peaceable manner. However, no clear
way to enforce pact.
World
Disarmament
Conference (1932-
1934)
YES NO Germany insisted other powers should
match its disarmament level.
France, Britain and USA refused.
Germany resigned from the Conference and
the League.
10. Success achieved in disarmament were achieved
through the efforts of individual major powers
Powerful countries had the military capacity for
war, and the League could not stop them from
engaging in conflicts
Major powers refused to cooperate when the
League organised major disarmament
conferences in 1926 and the 1930s
Major powers did not trust each other and placed
own national interests above international peace
12. Italy invaded Abyssinia in 1935 for its natural
resources
The League imposed sanctions, banning all
Italian exports and stopping loans
The League however did not stop the export
of oil to Italy
◦ Oil is perhaps the most important raw material to
have
◦ Did not want to hurt economic interests of
important members
A most spectacular
failure
13. Were allies with Italy
under Stresa Front, so
did not want to offend
Mussolini.
Did not close the Suez
Canal to Italian
ships—Italy could ship
war supplies to
Abyssinia
Hoare-Laval Plan: to
secretly give two-
thirds of Abyssinia to
Italy to stop invasion
14. THE AWFUL WARNING
We don’t want you to fight,
But, by jingo if you do,
We shall probably issue a joint
memorandum
Suggesting a mild disapproval of you.
15. • It was slow to react
• A country could get its own way if it ignored
the LON
• Collective security' was useless against big
countries
• Great powers within the League were happy
to ignore it
• Even Britain and France would betray the
League
16. Was the LON too weak to maintain peace in the
1930s?
20. We learnt that in Chapter 1.
What is important in this Chapter is the
examples which showcased why the LON was
weak.
Failure of Disarmament
Abyssinia Crisis
21. Or was it other factors?
So…. did the failure of the
LON lead to the outbreak
of WWII in Europe?
