League of Nations was established on February 14 1919 as a result of the First World War. It was spearheaded by the 26th President Woodrow Wilson in his famous ‘fourteen point’ speech.  The fourteen point plan outlined plans to reduce imperialism around the world, give colonies freedom and lay the foundations for the League of Nations. The main goals of the League of Nations was to establish international peace and not resort to wars.

    I think there are some important events that need to be outlined in the primary source. Indeed, the League of Nations was established in 1919 after World War I, but it excluded countries like Russia and Germany and had its headquaters in Geneva (Switzerland) because of that country neutral position during the war.

    The league of Nations didn’t achieve its main goal which was to establish peace among nations , and its headquarter was located in Europe.Its failures and incompetences have led to the second World war; it was the predecessor of the United Nations.What the United Nations did learn from the League of Nations?Will the United Nations strive where its the League of Nations had failed ?
