The League of Nations was largely maginalised during the Second World War and was officially replaced by the United Nation in 1946. There is no set answer without a thorough understanding of the League of Nations as an international body during the 1930's, for the more beligerant nations who were members either left the League or were voted out during the late 1930's. In the interest of answering the question though a few facts should be mentioned; 1. The United States was never a member of the League of Nations. 2. Germany left the League in 1933 with the rise of Adolf Hitler. 3. The Soviet Union was thrown out in December of 1939 for its role in the Invasion of Poland. 4. Italy was thrown out in the late 1930's for its Invasion of Ethiopa. The League did nothing despite the pleas of Ethiopa's Monarch, Haile Sellase (Ras Tafar) 5. Japan was expelled in the 1930's for belligerent activities on the Mainland of China. 6. England and France remained members although Vichy France was never a member and the French membership was taken on by the Free French under Charles De Gaulle.
