Failures+-+Vilna+1920

=
Vilna was previously taken over by Russia before the 1920 but before this, Vilna was the capital city of Lithuania back in the middle ages when Lithuania was an European state. After World War One, due to treaties, Lithuania once again became a free state and Vilna was the obvious chose for the capital city.=====

Except there was a big problem. 30% of Vilna's population were Polish and only 2% were actual Lithuanians [1]. In 1920, Poland took over Vilna and Lithuania asked the League to kick Poland out of Lithuania but Poland could not be persuaded enough to be kicked out. Vilna was Polish until the break out of World War Two. Vilna was not one of the Leagues biggest failures but it was still an important one. It caused the League to seem more weak and other countries lost confidence in the League.
