The League of Nations
- Met at the Palace of Justice located in The Hague
- Doomed from the start with the exclusion of the USA, Russia, and Germany To summarize, the League of Nations was originally proposed by President Woodrow Wilson to make a peaceful pact, with collective security. He wanted to ensure that every nation within the collective security felt safe. USA ultimately did no join, Germany wasn't included, and nor was Russia. 3 of the world's biggest powers not included, a recipe for disaster.
"We are participants, whether we would or not, in the life of the world.... We are partners with the rest. What affects mankind is inevitably our affair as well as the nations of Europe and Asia."
