??? so what you're telling me is that a global organization weaker than the UN, which is already unable to handle relatively small regional conflicts (bosnia, sudan, etc etc), would have been able to stop WWII

your claim is completely baseless please return to 10th grade history
in response to this, your totally missing the point. My point was that IF the US HAD been in the league, it might have had the power needed to stop Hitler. And i dont mean defeat Hitler during WWII, i mean itmightve had the power to effectively apply economic or military sanctions to prevent Germany rearming and breaking the rules of the Treaty or Versailles.

And i agree, without the USA, the league was almost totally useless in dealing with even the smallest conflicts.

and i apologise if my wording may have confused you...i should have said "if the Senate had ratified joining the league of nations..."

and dude...learn to spell before you start calling other people "retard"
