Which of the following was the most damaging weakness of the League of Nations?
  1. The League of Nations did not include the United States.
  2. The League of Nations did not provide adequate collective security.
  3. The League of Nations did not include Germany.
  4. The League of Nations could not actually enforce any of its mandates.
Explanation
Answer - A - The most damaging weakness of the League of Nations was that it did not include the United States.

Key Takeaway: Because the United States could not ratify the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, and did not end the war with Germany until 1921, it could not join the League of Nations. As the United States continued to rise in power, the fact that the U.S. was not part of the League severely affected the League’s ability to become a powerful force in world politics.
