Collective security failed to keep the peace between 1920 and 1935 for multiple reasons that cannot all be fully explored in this essay; however, a few significant reasons were, firstly, the League of Nations was founded upon a faulty covenant that relied too heavily on the idea that the League could enforce peace through economic sanctions - a feat that proved to be ineffective, as the League lacked many major world powers, such as the United States; by extension, this lack of major world powers led the league to fail in actually achieving its goal of collective security and general peace, thereby destroying any and all credibility that the League of Nations might have possibly had.
TS: The League of Nations had an unstable foundation that not only gave it a slow start, but also many holes that made the League ineffective, overall.
TS: The League of Nations lacked any major world powers, thereby taking the teeth out of any threats they made with economic sanctions and destroying any credibility the League could possibly have had.
