Why did the League of Nations Fail?

(0)
Key Stage 4 or 3 Lesson on the League of Nations and why it failed to prevent war I devised a decision making game to try and make it a little more interesting and to get students to think more deeply about the motivations for the countries in the League in making their decisions not to sanction. This lesson looks at why the League did not stop the powerful nations in the 1930s through a decision making game. I’ve amended/ slimmed down the resources and reuploaded them in addition to a worksheet.
