Ironically the League of nation’s answer for world peace was the main cause of World War II. Germany loss World War I and was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, saying that there would not be anymore wars ever. The Treaty of Versailles was created at the end of World War I in hopes to keep world peace; both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers signed the treaty and agreed to keep the peace with one another. The Treaty of Versailles was a great idea on paper, but unfortunately it helped cause World War II. The Treaty of Versailles helped cause World War II by taking land away from Germany, limiting the size of Germany’s military, pushing war reparations on Germany, and using the War Guilt Clause against the Germans.…
Hitler wanted to expand his army throughout Europe and eventually become supreme ruler of the world. Fortunately they defeated hitler. Other Political leaders like Benito Mussolini and Hideki Tojo fought with Hitler. The League of Nations was another political contribution to World War 2. In theory the League of Nations was a good idea and did have some early successes, but it was a failure. During the 1920’s the world was in a deep depression which lead to economy falls, reduce trading, and rise of unemployment rate. The reasons why the League of Nations was a failure during World War II is because not all countries joined, it had no power, had no army, and unable to act…
After the end of the Great War (WW1) the League of Nations was established with the aim to end warfare throughout the world. The idea was suggested by the American President Woodrow Wilson, in his 14 point plan. The premise of the League was, to improve international cooperation, peace and security through the world. Other things mentioned in its covenant were:…
Once World War I came to a close, many decided they never wanted to go through such a terrible war again. In fact, they even said that World War I was “the war to end all wars.” They wanted to bring peace throughout the nations, something that would ensure that they would never have reason to fight again, at least not nearly as bad as the Great War had been. President Woodrow Wilson was a strong supporter of a peace between all continents, even constructing a 14 Point Plan that would focus on bringing peace to the world. As a result, when the League of Nations came into being, he fully supported the Treaty of Versailles, which would not only induct the United States into the League, but also hold every single one of the signers to their promise of peace and unity. President Wilson brought this to the attention of the United States government, and though the Treaty of Versailles supported many of Wilson’s points from his 14 Point Plan, it was unsuccessful in passing. Though Wilson was very stubborn in trying to get the treaty passed, the strength of the opposing forces was too great, and Senate declined the passing of the treaty.…
League of Nations also played a huge part in starting WW2. League of nations was founded in Paris Peace Conference that finished the World War I. This league was created to bring peace to the world and solve issues by negotiation rather than using force. European countries did not join the League of Nations which was one of the mistakes that caused the war. In addition, Germany and Russia were not allowed to join the League. Germany couldn’t join because it was a punishment for starting the World War I. Soviet Union couldn’t join due to communism.…
The League of Nations was an international organisation set up in 1919 to help keep world peace. It was intended that all countries would be members of the League and that if there were disputes between countries they could be settled by negotiation rather than by force. If this failed then countries would stop trading with the aggressive country and if that failed then countries would use their armies to…
The USA rejected the League of Nations because it was heavily linked to the treaty of Versailles which many Americans disagreed with, therefore this led the USA to reject joining the League of Nations because it was created to support the treaty of Versailles and to enforce its terms. The USA rejected it mainly because some were worried about the financial cost of joining. For example, many people feared that American money would be spent on keeping world peace which was Wilson’s dream (to control foreign affairs in order to abolish war to bring peace). This would mean that American money would be spent on the aims of the League of Nations which were to improve people’s working conditions and to tackle diseases; therefore American money will be spent on medication and the working environment. This suggests that the USA thought that if they signed it would be a promise made to spend money (no matter how much it may cost) in order to resolve international problems.…
The League of Nations was set up after the treaty of Versailles to deal with issues in the world. This is where the first obstacle comes because the League of Nations only actually had 44 nations involved and the biggest country in the world- the USA- was not one of these nations, making the League of Nations look weak from the onset. Without America it was going to be hard to make a real impact, but the league tried to make a good impact on the world by creating special commissions to combat world problems. The main achievements the league wanted to gain were World Disarmament, to improve living and working conditions, To enforce the treaty of Versailles and to stop all wars. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) was created to improve living and working standards in the world, The health committee sought to put a stop to the spread of prominent diseases such as Malaria and Polio, The slavery commission wanted to end the slavery, trafficking and prostitution rings and the Commission for Refugees sought to repatriate all the prisoners of world war 1 back to their countries of origin.…
He’s giving this speech to raise support for the treaty of Versailles and the league of Nation.…
aims was to prevent to outbreak of wars, improve people's lives and jobs, agree to disarmament, and enforce the Treaty of Versailles. The League hoped it could influence countries to ensure peace by international diplomacy and mediation, economic sanction, force, and moral condemnation. This seemed to work well at first; however, later, there proved to be many weaknesses contained in the Treaty. For example, the League did not have an army of its own, which means that if any of the countries ignored the Leagues decision, then the League would have no power to do anything. The main strength of the League was that it was set up by the Treaty of Versailles. Later, people started to attack the treaty; this was also a major weakness of the League. In fact, one of the most serious weaknesses was that the League had limited membership. Most of the powerful countries were not members. For instance, the US refused to join although Woodrow Wilson was the one who proposed the idea of a League. Germany was not allowed to be a member, and communist Russia resented Britain and France's membership. Another critical weakness was the decision-making process established by the League. This process involves all the members acting together in order for the League to take action. Therefore, if one member disagrees or does…
(Elaborate) USA was the strongest and most powerful country in the world and commanded great respect and political clout. Its inclusive in the League of Nations would have enhanced the league’s credibility, reputation and enforcement power. Its absence was a crucial missing link in the cornerstone of establishing peace in the 1920s. This was not a problem in the 1920s, when the League dealt mainly with small countries like Sweden and Finland (Aaland Islands, 1921) and Bulgaria and Greece (1925). But, without the three world powers, the League was too weak to make a big country do as it wished for instance, in the case of Lithuanian & Polish dispute in Vilna, LON was unable to force withdrawal of Polish troops & eventually Polish annexed Vilna. Also, Italy invaded Greece because of Corfu incident. The LON had to accede to Italy's request for reparations & an official apology from Greece before Italy agreed to pulling troops out of Greece.…
When the First World War ended, the League of Nations was founded as a result of the Paris Peace Conference. It was and international peace keeping organization established on 10 January 1920 which’s aim was to encourage the member countries to co-operate in trade, improve social conditions, complete disarmament and to protect any member country that was being threatened with war. The League of Nations was the initial idea of Woodrow Wilson, the president of the USA at that time and was formed to make sure such world atrocities like the First World War never happened again. However, we know that despite this, a Second World War with even greater loss of life took place, and therefore most people conclude that the League of Nations failed. But why did the League fail? Many historians believe that the League of Nations was affected by the invasion of Abyssinia while others claim it was not. The aim of this essay is to evaluate both sides of the argument. In order to do so the different historical facts that could have affect the League of Nations will be evaluated.…
The next big failure of the League of Nations was over disarmament. The League had not had any success in this area in the 1920s either, but at that stage, when the international climate was better, it had not seemed to matter as much.…
The message of this cartoon is that without the USA in the League of Nations, the League isn’t complete and will be weak without it’s figurehead of new power, which would have been the USA. The USA didn’t join the League because Woodrow Wilson and the Democrats (who proposed the idea of the League of Nations) lost against the Republicans. In America, the people were anxious that if they joined the League, they would have to send men to fight conflicts across the world, and after the tragedy of the First World War, no-one wanted to lose any more men and they didn’t like Britain and France’s empires because their trade hurt the USA’s economy. Lots of American-Germans hated the Treaty of Versailles, and the League was supposed to enforce the Treaty. In the picture, the USA is the keystone, and this shows that the USA is the most important part as they were a big and wealthy country, and would be the centre part of the bridge, which shows that the USA is key for the League to be as efficient as it can. The man in the picture looks like he has pulled the keystone out of the bridge and is guarding it, as if to say “you’re never getting this back, you’ll have to think of another way to close the gap and make the bridge sturdy”. Without the USA in the League, the League was in danger of collapsing and it was feared that another world war might…

It was also developed to deal with human and drug trafficking, labor conditions and global health.…
