To begin with, one major weakness of the league was its inability or failure to work by their principles. Self-determination a core principle in their reason for existence was practised. This is apparent in the example of Germany and Poland wanting Upper Silesia.
Thus, we can see that failure to exercise their authority properly was a major weakness as it allowed aggressors to get their way. Also, the League of Nations lacked the military forces. This was a weakness and it is patent in the example of Italy against Greece over the Corfu. The league could not do anything to remove Italy as they had no military forces to do so.
