The League of Nations: An Introduction

The League of Nations was an international organization established after World War I, primarily through the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Its main goals were to promote peace, prevent future wars, and encourage cooperation among countries. The League was the first attempt at creating a global body to resolve disputes diplomatically rather than through war.
