The correct answer is: They sensed weakness in the League and actively pursued aggressive foreign policies.
To get this answer, we need to understand the historical context. After Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, the League of Nations condemned Japan's actions. However, the League did not take any substantial action to stop Japan's aggression. This perceived weakness of the League prompted dictators, such as Adolf Hitler in Germany and Benito Mussolini in Italy, to believe that they could pursue aggressive foreign policies without facing significant consequences from the League. As a result, they also pursued expansionist and militaristic actions, leading to the outbreak of World War II.
