Click on the cartoon take a closer look at 'The Door Mat' - who is it by? what is it staying about the League's and Japan's actions? Why is the man putting makeup on the League who is being stepped on?
Japanese invaded after dispute over Manchurian railway
Needed Manchurias resources and feared Chinese threat
League slow to act
Sent Lord Lytton to investigate
Report said Japan were in the wrong
Japan simply ignored the report and left the League
Economic sanctions pointless as USA not a member
Britain wanted to keep Japan on side
Members of the League feared war would escalate - thinking of themselves
USSR and USA strong enough to remove Japan but not members
