6 thoughts on “League of Nations”

  1. Created in 1919 after WWI. It aimed to mitigate the impacts of anarchy on arms races, cooperation, and war. There were a few reasons for its failure. Firstly, the United States did not join. Secondly, when Italy invaded Ethiopia (1935), the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) broke out, or when Japan invaded China (1937), the League of Nations did nothing. They were there for spiritual support. The institutional structure was flawed and it failed.

  2. The organization that preceded today's United Nations; The US never joined this league and in turn weakened it as a whole by their lack of membership. Moreover, it was ineffective in ensuring what is known as collective security and had no enforcement abilities. Commonly labeled as a failure, it did achieve certain humanitarian successes.

  3. A precursor to the United Nations, the league of nations pushed foreward by US president Woodrow Wilson in the aftermath of WWI and was an attempt to encourage international cooperation in order to prevent further escolation to violence. It was inpired by the signing of the treaty of versailles and was the first step foreward in settling international disputes by negotiation or arbritration, however; even though it was founded by W.W. the United States senate did not ratify the treaty

  4. An organization established after World War I and a forerunner of today's United Nations. It aimed to mitigate the impacts of anarchy on arms races, cooperation and war. It was severely weakened by the absence of U.S. membership. The League did nothing when Italy invaded Ethiopia, when the Spanish Civil War broke out or when Japan invaded China. While this organization is commonly labeled as a failure, it did achieve certain humanitarian successes.

  5. Although the creation of the league of nations was a large step ininternational cooperation for peace, the terms of the agreement were not strong enough to create an organization that was functional enough to provide real world support for conflicts across the world. It was not until the powers of the united nations, complete with authority to dispatch peacekeeping troops were defined that an organization was successful in meeting the goals of the League Of Nations.
