The League Of Nations

The United Nations is an organization established 24 October 1945. It was a replacement for the League of Nations. The UN was created following the Second World War to prevent another such conflict. The organization is financed by giving its member states a substantial fee. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

The League of Nations was established in 1919 after the deadly and devastating conflict of World War I. The nations of the world needed a way to rebuild and regain trust in one another after this worldwide atrocity. President Woodrow Wilson believed that an international peacekeeping organization, such as the League of Nations, could achieve this monumental goal. President Wilson was convinced that the League could prevent another wWorld wWar, preserve peace, and promote total disarmament among nations. Wilson went to the Treaty of Versailles negotiations with a Fourteen Point Plan for peace, but he sacrificed almost all of his plans so that the League of Nations could be established. This organization, however, would never live up to the President’s dreams for its success. Despite Woodrow Wilson’s support for the League of Nations, it failed as a peace keeping organization because the United States did not participate, its decision making process was ineffective, and it lacked an armed force to impose its decisions.

DESCRIPTION: The United Nations is an international organization established to promote intercontinental support. Therefore, the main role of the United Nations is to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations, to promote respect for human rights and to coordinate aid in disaster situations and to provide help on global issues such as drug trafficking and the environment.

Wilson believed that the League of Nations would be able to deal with any issues as they arose. He also hoped the League would be able to make changes to the treaties later if there were any injustices; this meant the League was the most vital element of the peace settlement as far as the Americans were concerned. However, the Senate voted against USA membership of both the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles, and Henry Cabot Lodge spoke out against the League on the grounds that membership might endanger the existence of the USA by involving it in unnecessary wars. This demonstrated a lack of appreciation at home for Wilson’s peace-making efforts, which was enhanced by economic problems such as high inflation and issues in the job market caused by the rapid demobilisation of the armed forces. There was a sense of war weariness and many people began to feel that the rewards of the war had not been worth the costs; 117,000 Americans were killed. His ideals and policies were decisively rejected in 1920 and the Democratic Party suffered a catastrophic defeat in the presidential election. Wilson had become seriously ill after suffering a stroke but would not allow anyone else to take over, so it was difficult for them to focus on choosing a new presidential candidate. By then Most of the country supported isolationism.

The only way to secure peace is by being ready and the willing to fight for the right where preparation is the guaranty of peace. People should accept responsibilities and develop the right action to fight. A nation should always be ready to fight but not forced and should keep the honorable traditions of men and self-respect. If a nation knows how to act with reasonable

The goal of the United Nations, when formed was to “maintain international peace and security and commit to economic and social development. (Fomerand, Jacques)” As one

In this essay, I am going to look at the successes and failures of the League of Nations (LofN) in its struggle for peace throughout the 1920’s. The LofN was the ‘brain child’ of American president Woodrow Wilson. The four other main powers (Britain, France, Japan and Italy) joined along with approximately 60 other countries from around the world. The U.S.A then abandoned its ‘child’ as to social and economic unrest led to a more isolationist foreign policy. Yet the other four main countries continued to support the LofN and formed the council, consisting to the ‘most powerful countries’. The LofN was set up to enforce peace in Europe and the world. It created various

Long term success demands the use of all elements of “national power, intelligence, covert, action, laws enforcement, economic policy, public diplomacy, and homeland defense.” (National Commission on Terrorism, 2004. P.364). to defeat terrorism and by policing these countries through the U.N. and NATO with United States leading the way.

In 1931, Japan invaded a territory in China rich of raw materials known as Manchuria. This attack was the first direct challenge to the League of Nations. At this time the League of Nations consisted of all the major democracies expect America, also the three biggest threats to peace, Italy, Japan, and Germany. When Japan took over Manchuria, many league members strongly disagreed and protested. However, Japan just ignored the protests and withdrew from the league in 1933. Japan went on to war with China, while China was no match for Japan. As the

“ Here is a task truly of, by and for the world, one that should rally nations. The nature of this task however, must be clearly understood; only then can suitable means for accomplishing it be formulated, only then can the role that the United Nations could and should play be appreciated” ( Wilcox/Haviland, 29). There are many international organizations that have been talked about throughout this semester. One of the most important ones is The United Nations. The United Nations was established October 24, 1945, and has since then been impacting the country. The United Nations main purpose according to the lecture notes is “ to provide a global additional structure through which states can sometimes settle conflicts with less reliance on the use of force , for whole purpose of the United Nations is to provide the globe a forum by which countries may settle disputes through this forum peacefully as opposed to relying on a force which has been the case historically” ( Kopalyan, Module 8). Thus meaning The United Nations was set up to handle problems peacefully rather than going to war to try and solve problems. “Powerful economic as well as political forces are at work to bring about a growing integration of the world community, and the United Nations and its related agencies are uniquely fitted to assist in the task” (Wilcox/Haviland,45). This was some of the reason that the United Nations was created.

After defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the League of Nations Charter implied that Britain would aid in the development of Palestine. The mandatory power that began in 1920 was to result in independence for the indigenous peoples of the region and to consider the mandated territory a temporary trust and to see to the best interest and advancement of its population. However, the British policy towards Zionists and Arabs resulted in political violence and both groups are still discontent with the British mandatory period and policies from that era. Specifically, the Arab community and the documents that illustrate that the British favored the Yishuv community, and never abandoned the idea of a Jewish national home. “In the mandates twenty-eight articles, not one related to the Palestinian peoples per se: they were variously and vaguely defined as a section of the population, natives, or peoples and communities. As far as Britain and the League of Nations were concerned, they were definitely not a people.”

"The League of Nations was doomed To failure from the start" Adam Jenner Many may believe that the League of Nations was doomed to failure as soon as the doors of their Geneva headquarters were opened; many may say that it was built on unstable foundations; that the very idea of it was a grave misjudgment by the powers that were. Indeed it is true that the League of Nations, when it was set up was marred with many fundamental flaws. The League of Nations was formed after the end of the First World War. It was an idea that President Wilson introduced as an international police force to maintain peace and to ensure the devastating atrocities like the First World War ever happening again. The principle mission of the League of Nations was to maintain World Peace. Their failure as the international peacekeeping organization to maintain world peace brought the outbreak of Second World War. Their failure in policing and preventing peace in settling disputes throughout Europe, erupted into the most devastating war ever. Through my analysis of the failures of the League of Nations to maintain world peace, my arguments will demonstrate the understandings of the reasons and events that created the most devastating environment for the Second World War.

Founded in 1945, the function and principles of the United Nations are determined in the United Nations Charter which was ratified on 24 October of the same year. One of the primary principles of the United Nations, as outlined in Article 1 of the United Nations Charter is:

Security communities have been classified into two basic types, an amalgamated and pluralist form. In an amalgamated community, there would be two or more independent political states merged and form one large unit that is in charged and governed by only one common government, such as the USA. On the other hand, under the pluralistic form of security community, state members are also came together for negotiation and discussion over political issues, but formally retaining under a sovereign government, for example, the EU (European Union), the Canada-US and Mexico, and ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations). Base on early postwar researches and analysis, pluralistic communities have been extremely vigorous and success as the process of formation is considered to be simpler in attaining and preserving than their counterparts.
