The League of Nations
Creation of a League of Nations was central to Wilson's strategy for achieving a peaceful postwar order. He believed that an international organization that would allow great and small countries around the world to collaborate and provide a forum for resolving interstate conflicts could prevent future international wars. Drawing on thinking current in the United States and Europe, Wilson composed this draft covenant describing how such a League of Nations should work. Such a global organization dedicated to international affairs had never existed. Active from 1920 to World War II, the League of Nations, provided a precedent for the later United Nations. |
