The leage of nations
The League of Nations and its Impact on World Peace Through my studies and research I have come to the following conclusion about the League of Nations: despite all of President Woodrow Wilson's efforts, the League was doomed to fail. I feel this was so for many reasons, some of which I hope to convey in the following report. From the day when Congress voted on the Fourteen Points, it wasObvious that the League had a very slim chance of being passed in Congress, and without all of the World powers, the League had little chance of surviving. On November 11, 1918 an armistice was declared in Europe. Wilson saw the opportunity to form an international organization of peace to be formed. He acted quickly. On January 18, 1919 he released his fourteen points. The Fourteen Points consisted of many things, but the most important was the fourteenth-the establishment of a league of nations to settle international disputes and to keep the peace. After congress had voted, only three of Wilson's fourteen points were accepted without compromise. Six of the others were rejected all together. Fortunately the League was compromised. Wilson then went to Europe to discuss the Treaty of Versailles. Re
The League had an assembly, a council, and a secretariat. The council's decisions had to be unanimous. Wilson saw that the League might not make it through Congress, so he went on the road and gave speeches to sway the public opinion. The League can be credited with certain social achievements. Thirty-one nations were represented all twenty-six years. In 1946 the League voted to affect its own dissolution, whereupon much of its property and organization were transferred to the United Nations, which had recently been founded. This international alliance, formed after World War 2, not only profited by the mistakes of the League but borrowed much of the organizational mechanics of the League of Nations. The council had several permanent members, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, and later Germany and the Soviet Union. Wilson's battleWith his health reached its climax when Wilson had a stroke on his train between speeches. Territories were awarded to the League members in the form of mandates. Great powers preferred to handle their affairs on their own; French occupation of the Ruhr and Italian occupation of Corfu, both in 1923, went on in spite of the League. In 1940 the secretariat in Geneva was reduced to a skeleton staff and moved to the U. Although Germany joined in 1926, the National Socialist government withdrew in 1933 as did Japan, after the League condemned their attacks on China.
