Detailed explanation-1: -The League of Nations (1920 – 1946) was the first intergovernmental organization established “to promote international cooperation and to achieve international peace and security”. It is often referred to as the “predecessor” of the United Nations.
Detailed explanation-2: -The League of Nations was a international organization founded after the Paris Peace Conference, 1919. The League’s goals included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy and improving global welfare.
Detailed explanation-3: -The League of Nations effectively resolved some international conflicts but failed to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War.
Detailed explanation-4: -The League of Nations was designed to enforce the Treaty of Versailles and the other peace agreements that concluded World War I. It was also intended to facilitate open diplomacy and peaceful mediation to settle war disputes.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
