None of the above responses are completely accurate. The League of Nations did initially condemn the Japanese invasion of China and imposed economic sanctions on Japan. However, these sanctions were not effective and did not deter Japan’s aggression. The League also sent fact-finding missions to China and Japan to try to mediate the conflict, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The League’s failure to take stronger action to stop Japan’s aggression contributed to a loss of credibility and ultimately led to its weakening in the years preceding World War II.
