Question

The _______ was an international organization designed to prevent war that was set up after World War I. A. Triple Entente End of exam B. League of Nations C. Peace Conference D. United Nations

Answer 1

The correct answer is B: The League of Nations was an international organization designed to prevent war that was set up after World War I. WWI was named the "Great War" and "The war to end all wars"; never before had Europeans seen such scale of destruction. After the war the League of Nations was founded with the goal of preventing a new world war. However, it did not suceed. It lacked enforcement mechanisms, and depended on the will of the victors of WWI to enforce its resolutions. The U.S. never joined it officially, despite the fact that U.S. Presidente Woodrow Wilson was one of its main backers (this earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919), and the Soviet Union was only briefly part of it; the absence of two of the most powerful states weakened its legitimacy. After failing to prevent World War II, it was dissolved in 1946, giving way to the United Nations, the international organization presently charged with keeping peace.
