Question

what was one problem that undermined the league of nations effectiveness?
it had no permanent army.
it had very limited funds.
it had few clear goals.
it had no powerful leader.

Explanation:

The League of Nations was an international organization established after World War I. One of its major flaws was that it had no permanent army. This meant that when a conflict arose or a member state violated the League's principles (such as aggression against another member), the League could not enforce its decisions through military means. It had to rely on member states voluntarily providing military forces, which was often not forthcoming. For example, when Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935, the League condemned the aggression but could not stop it effectively due to the lack of a standing army. Limited funds (while a problem) were not as critical as the inability to enforce decisions. It did have clear goals like maintaining peace and promoting international cooperation. And in terms of leadership, it was a collective - based organization rather than relying on a single "powerful leader" in the traditional sense. The lack of a permanent army was a fundamental structural weakness that undermined its ability to maintain global peace.

Answer:

It had no permanent army.
