Woodrow Wilson 's The League Of Nations

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.

The League of Nations was an organization created following the year after the concession of World War I in 1918. The purpose of this union was to maintain world stability and peace. The League of Nations was proposed by President Woodrow Wilson in his Fourteen Points and was considered relatively controversial. Congress had to vote upon whether the United States would join or not. Two of the Senators gave speeches, Senator Gilbert Hitchcock and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, advocating their parties’ views.

By the end of the first world war, the international community founded the League of Nations, the first international security organization with the primary goal of maintaining world peace. The first world war saw drastic increases in mankind 's capacity to kill other human beings and cause insurmountable harm to human society and culture. The human condition was drastically different. With a new world war on the horizon, the international community had decided to band together to form a way in which it could help exercise the correct legal disposition and formality to positively influence the world. An international body was crucial after the first world war in order to maintain peace and order as the world picked up the pieces from their injustices. This was also true after the Second world war where the world saw, again, how the cruelties of humanity had to be prevented in order for the international body to prevent the forming of higher casualty rates and human suffering.

League of Nations was a agreement to end the first world war. It was mainly to make calm was at the time chaotic.

The means to an end. To end resolve disputes of the time the League of Nations was formed by none other than Woodrow wilson. The leading nations of the world decided that the best way to prevent another war from occurring was to form an alliance of nations that would serve as an overseeing the world from another war. Despite the leader of the United States Wilson believed that the U.S. should stay neutral and continue in their way of isolationism. Wilson put forth this idea with nothing to gain from it, he wanted to unite the nations. With his passionate words Wilson wanted a governing figure that would be of one mind, one heart to stop aggression amongst one another, and stay out foreign affairs.

Together with the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations was established, with the aims of “disarmament,; preventing war through collective security,; settling disputes

World War 1 exposed the need for an association of nations, a body to promote international peace and security. The necessity of an organization to prevent global conflict of the nature of World War 1 was initially pointed out by President Woodrow Wilson in his congressional speech in 1918. The emergence of the League of Nations was a natural corollary to the catastrophic consequences of the Great War.

The paper reveals that the league had a very limited scope and excluded many countries that would significantly benefit the league and its efforts of ensuring world peace, which made it appear like a boutique body with no true spirit of uniting all nations. While it was supposed to involve as many nations as possible, only a few were invited. America, a major nation in the agreement, also did not become a member since the Senate failed to ratify the decision to join the League (Fredrick 91). Countries such as Soviet Russia were not allowed to join and by 1930, countries such as Japan and Italy had left. This scanty and unequal representation

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

The League of Nations was established after the end of World War One. The intent of The League of Nations , was to prevent another war from occurring. Many looked to the League as its savior, after the upheaval brought on by the Treaty of Versailles.

One of the primary goals of the League of Nations was to ensure that the state of peace in the nations was going to be maintained by the collective disarmament of the nations as well as implementing security measures throughout the nations involved. Furthermore, the LN was formed

The Failure of the League of Nations to Keep Peace in the Nineteen-Thirties After World War One in 1919 the allies created the League of Nations. It had a simple "raison d'etre", that was to prevent war. Its chief architect was President Woodrow Wilson of USA. However, upon its creation the United States did not join. Throughout its years the league faced many problems and struggled, however it managed to stay together for 20 years.

According to the Roskin&Berry the crux of the League was collective security under Article 16 of the Covenant. An addition, collective security - agreement by all countries to

Following the second of the World Wars, the League of Nations was replaced by the modern United Nations. This organization's aims were similar to their predecessor's, to maintain harmony through settling border disputes and to offer humanitarian aid wherever necessary, but the UN's charter states further that tolerance and equality is necessary in peace:

"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.
