On this day 14 December 1939 the League of Nations evicted the USSR.
The League of Nations, a body established to safeguard the peace after World War I, expelled the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on December 14, 1939, in reaction to the Soviet invasion of Finland on November 30.
Although President Woodrow Wilson largely conceived of the League of Nations, the United States, which was supposed to have a seat on the Executive Council, never participated. Senator isolationists opposed American engagement because they were scared off by the country's involvement in World War I, which they perceived as more of a European civil war than a truly global conflict. The League was established with the lofty goal of averting another "Great War," but it was powerless to stop an Italian or a Japanese invasion of Ethiopia or China. The League was also ineffective in responding to German remilitarization, which was against the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, the legal agreement that officially ended World War I.
In 1933, Japan and Germany voluntarily quit the League, followed by Italy in 1937. With its conquest of eastern Poland in September 1939, purportedly to save Russian "blood brothers," Ukrainians and Byelorussians who were allegedly being threatened by the Poles, the Soviet Union's true imperial intentions quickly became obvious. Then, in order to force Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to sign "mutual aid" pacts—which were mainly one-sided accords giving the USSR air and naval facilities in those nations—terror was used. However, the invasion of Finland sparked outrage around the world because no credible provocation or agreement could be used to legitimize the war. Despite being a "ally" of the USSR, President Roosevelt denounced the invasion, which led to the Soviets leaving the New York World's Fair. Finally, the League of Nations evicted it since it was almost completely destroyed.
