Detailed explanation-1: -The League of Nations officially came into existence on 10 January 1920. On 15 November 1920, 41 members states gathered in Geneva for the opening of the first session of the Assembly. This represented a large portion of existing states and corresponded to more than 70% of the world’s population.
Detailed explanation-2: -Soviet Russia and the USA were not a part of the League of Nations. The League of Nations was an organisation formed based on 14 points presented by the then American President Woodrow Wilson during the Paris Peace Process on January 10, 1920.
Detailed explanation-3: -Major powers such as the USA, Soviet Russia and Germany were not part of the league. This limited the international scope of the organisation working on behalf of all member nations. The League did not have military powers and this acted as a challenge when dealing with hostile countries.
Detailed explanation-4: -The predecessor of the United Nations was the League of Nations, established in 1919, after World War I, under the Treaty of Versailles “to promote international cooperation and to achieve peace and security."
