There were numerous reasons as to why so large, well-established empires like the Russian and the Ottoman Empires were not able to quickly adapt and modernize in the way that much smaller nations did.

For starters, these two empires had very large territories. The vast territories meant that the laws and the modernization can not be implemented very well in all parts of the empire. Also, big problem was that in the borders of these empires lived people from lot of different ethnic and religious groups, which was largely making them empires where the people were not united, had different points of view, and different goals.

Japan on the other hand, is much smaller. The population of this nation had the same ethnic, religious, and cultural background, thus the nation was united in all aspects. That led to easy transformation and modernization of the society without any particular problems.

Which branches were missing under the Articles?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

<em>Executive and judicial branches.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The Articles of Confederation created a confederation, a government of loosely organized independent states. The national government under the Articles of Confederation consisted of a single legislative body, called the Congress of the United States.  The national government had limited powers under the Articles of Confederation. For example, the central government could not levy taxes or regulate commerce.  Additionally, there was not an executive or judicial branch of government under the Articles.</em>

<em>Because the government under the Articles of Confederation did not have enough power, problems began to emerge.</em>

Why didn't the United States join the League of Nations?
GarryVolchara [31]

When it came to the Congress to approve the joining of the United States in the League of Nations it was blocked by the Republican opposition, especially from Senators William Borah and Henry Cabot (D).  

The U. S. public opinion was still disappointed over the outcomes of the war. Also, the Republican Senators did not like what they thought to be a violation of the U.S. sovereignity: the covenant of the League in it's Article X predicted that in case of a member being attacked all the others should defend it.

This added to the historical isolationism of U.S. diplomacy stopped the country from joining the League of Nations despite its inspiration on President Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points.
