After World War One people thought having a League of Nations would be a way to keep the peace, so there wouldn't be any more wars. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. I think part of it had to do with Republicans not allowing the US to become a member. It ought to be in a history book or on wikipedia tho. Good luck.

The League of Nations was an international organization founded after the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The League's goals included disarmament; preventing war through collective security; settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy; and improving global welfare.

Woodrow Wilson initiated it because the perfect aspect in his 14 factors on the authentic of WW1.

It didnt artwork properly because the most useful united states - united states didnt connect because the yank authorities chosen a closed door international coverage after the ending of WW2.

Quoting from Wikipedia
"The League of Nations was an international organization founded after the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The League's goals included disarmament; preventing war through collective security; settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy; and improving global welfare. The diplomatic philosophy behind the League represented a fundamental shift in thought from the preceding hundred years. "

The grand ideal of the league was to establish borders and decide on reparations to the aggrieved parties namely England France and the United states. It was also supposed to provide an arena where diplomacy could resolve inter state issues and aggression could be defused. The reality was that Germany was punitiveley punished eventually bankrupting the country and providing the sort of environment where opportunistic extremists could gain influence namely the national socialists in the 1930's. It could be argued that the establishment of the league led to the rise of Nazism and the 2nd world war.

Because the worst war in History had just happened and the leaders did not want a repetition of this slaughter. Unfortunately the version created was closer to the dream of one man, Woodrow Wilson, than to the practicalities of the real world. It lacked strong sanctions to over come transgressors and it didn't have more than 70 countries as members. Nevertheless they managed to solve a number of crises in the 20s and made great humasnitarian strides. Eventually the rise of the Dictators did for it.

It was Wilson's dream child for world peace; but the punitive settlement imposed on the Germans at the insistence of Clemenceau virtually guaranteed the next world war. Not to mention the Sikes-Picot Agreement partitioning the middle east under British and French spheres of domination which soured Arab-Christian relations and may be the cornerstone under today's conflicts. The disappointments of Versailles killed Wilson.

it was designed to avoid any more World wars because all nations of the world would be involved in it and they would try and solve disputes through economic sanctions etc. It was basically an early version of the UN

the league of nations were set up to try to avoid a repeat of the first world war. they inevitably failed, mainly due to the fact that they excluded world powers such as germany from many important discussions.

After that amount of slaughter they thought it would be a good idea to put the brakes on for a while until the politicians and industrialists were ready for round two
