Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Who got to keep Vilna after seizing it militarily, as the league did nothing to respond?

A	Lithuania
B	Russia
C	Poland
D	Latvia

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The League of Nations arranged a partial armistice (October 7, 1920) that put Vilnius under Lithuanian control and called for negotiations to settle all the border disputes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Vilna offensive was a campaign of the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921. The Polish army launched an offensive on April 16, 1919, to take Vilnius (Polish: Wilno) from the Red Army. After three days of street fighting from April 19–21, the city was captured by Polish forces, causing the Red Army to retreat.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Vilna incident in 1920 was ultimately a failure for the League of Nations. This resulted because Britain and France did not support the League of Nations on this issue. As a result, Poland was able to control Vilna until 1939, when World War 2 broke out.
