Why was the League of Nations weakened at the outset?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The League of Nations was weakened at the outset primarily because key global powers such as the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany were not members. The U.S. Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, preventing U.S. membership. The Soviet Union was not invited to join until later, and Germany was initially excluded as a defeated nation of World War I, only joining later in 1926.
