The United States didn't join - The countries of Europe were bitterly divided after World War I and were in no mood to establish a substantive organization dedicated to promoting world peace and understanding. The US being an outsider may have been a stabilizing force to the group. But Congress was uninterested in entangling the US any further in European affairs, Until the Second World War that is....
The Treaty of Versailles - The terms of the treaty unfairly penalized Germany. Doing so made joining the League more of a "punishment" than a boon. The establishment of the UN after WWII didn't make the same mistake, which was partly why it has been successful.
The limited scope of the League - Many countries which would have been beneficial to the League simply weren't invited to join. As a result it was a boutique organization, rather than a true joining of nations.
The general instability of the League - Many of the founding members simply withdrew from it as it became apparent that the League was unstable and that its interests clashed with their own.
The myriad failings of the League's diplomacy - The League was unable to prevent foreign incursions or negotiate their resolutions successfully after they occurred; from the Chaco War of 1922 to the Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia, the League's toothless nature was apparent from its outset which grew worse with time.
Colonialism - Colonialism was simply incompatible with the League's existence. While UN managed to survive during colonialism, it did so in the wake of WWII and during the collapse of colonialism. The League's membership expected (well... demanded) that their questionable territorial claims were above and apart from its purview. This double standard weakened the legitimacy of the group and ultimately resulted in its downfall.
The League of Nations was a good idea which was poorly executed. The relative success of the UN is due to the fact that all of the above actions did NOT occur in the same manner as they did during the time period when the League of Nations was empaneled.

1. League of nations is a organization that was created after World war one which was considered to be the deadliest war before World war two. The main objective of the league of nations was the prevent wars and try to maintain peace all over the world, minimize the production of the armed weapons and to reduce the number of army forces. The main reason for the failure of League of nations is that it could not stop world war two. world war two started because the dictator of Germany Hitler with his army entered the Dan-zing port of Poland, he thought that it would be easy to take over that port but Poland had a defense pact with Russia, so world war two started.
2. League of nations didn't have members from all the countries like Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan,America.
3. It had to work and bend to the rules and regulations give by the powerful colonial powers, though it had to run on it's by taking the ideas of the members.
4. Treaty of Versailles also made a mess, because of this treaty there was a hatred feeling the nations that lost in the war. So, militarism began and even Nazi mobilization took place a lot. Which led to the war situation.
