Japan first lost its official claim, but not physical claim of Manchuria, China because of the League's policy on aggression. Shortly following the Manchurian incident China appealed to the League of Nations. The League of Nations sent Victor Bulwer-Lytton to investigate, He along with four others commissioned to investigate spent six weeks in China.
The commission personal looked over the section of the railroad Japan claimed was where the explosive went off. A page document that was later called the Lytton Report was given to the League in The report found Japan was the aggravator in the situation. Even into the war in China Japan failed to follow codes and laws that the League had put into place and was supposed to defend against happening.
Further supporting the idea that the occupation of Manchuria, China was unjustified. Gas soldiers were trained in the Japanese military and part of their training was to retrieve all evidence of gas being used. Poison gas had been outlawed after the first world war by the Geneva Convention [5] Even with the gas being outlawed it has been reported to have been used over times in China alone [6]. Japan left the League of Nations on February 24th, The Japanese delegation was led by Yosuke Matsuoka, he the speaker for the Japanese and told those assembled that the Japanese had claim over Manchuria similarly to the British claim on Egypt and the United States Claim on the region of Panama.
The League vote was unanimous with , Japan being the only country that did not vote for the proposal by the League to have Japan give Manchuria back to China. With the vote counted Yosuke Matsuoka gave a speech and him and his delegation left and stated that they would not be coming back. The Japanese Military tried to stage an incident to give a legitimate claim on occupying Manchuria, China by blowing a portion of a railroad and blaming it on the Chinese troops in the area. When the League of Nations looked into the incident the Lytton Report was given to the the Council and the Japanese were reported in the wrong.
The League then votes on the proposal to fix the situations and Japan leaves the League. Fighting within China shows that Japan is proving not to follow the rules with the use of poison gases. Each of these findings adds to the conclusion that Japan may have occupied Manchuria, China but they did not have legitimate claim to it. It was therefore, an entire year before the League was able to publish the report in to the situation in Manchuria.
The report itself was detailed and declared that Japan was in the wrong. Japan should have then withdrawn from Manchuria, but instead decided it was going to continue the invasion of China.
After the League voted to approve the report against Japan, Japan left the League, withdrawing its support. This removal of Japan was a major blow to the League. What remained attempted to enforce economic sanctions against Japan, but were hampered by the fact that the biggest trading partner was the United States, who were not in the League.
Britain also undermined the efforts of the League in punishing Japan as it wanted to keep good relations with the Japanese. Everytime the League came close to decision it would be averted as the members did not want a war to happen. The only countries who could do something about Japan were the Soviet Union or America, as as neither of those were in the League, it was unlikely to happen.
