The League of Nations

Question 1 • GA-GSE World History

How did the League of Nations’ failure to end the Abyssinian Crisis help lead to World War II?

Answer
A
The failure showed that even a powerful organization cannot stop dictators.
B
The failure proved that Germany was stronger than all other European nations.
C
The failure was a starting point for a buildup of aggression around the world.
D
The failure led to escalating border wars among former member nations.

Explanation

The League of Nations failed to stop Italy’s invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia), showing that international rules and sanctions would not reliably prevent aggression. That failure encouraged dictators to take further risks, contributing to a wider buildup of aggression before World War II. So the best choice is “The failure was a starting point for a buildup of aggression around the world.”
