WHAT WAS THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS?
• an idea of American President Woodrow Wilson following the First World War
• an international police force made up of representatives of many countries
• an organisation that would allow disputes to be settled without resorting to war, based in Geneva (neutral).

DIFFERING VIEWS ON HOW THE LEAGUE SHOULD OPERATE:
A world parliament where representatives would meet regularly to decide on matter which affected all of them
A simple organisation that would meet during emergencies
A strong League capable of enforcing decisions with its own army
America Britain France

EACH OF THESE TYPES OF LEAGUE HAS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:
although France’s idea of a strong league would mean it could be an effective force, the league was meant to be centred on peace. potentially, its own army could provoke another war
Britain's simpler idea would mean that the league would merely dealing with emergencies rather than working on preventing them from of occurring in the first place
America's version of the league would be expensive and a complicated to organise, although it might have been the most effective version in terms of keeping peace

PEOPLE’S REACTIONS
TOWARDS LON
He’s so arrogant.
He thinks he knows
everything.
What is his
purposes of all
these things? I
smell something
fishy.

HOW SUCCESSFUL WAS THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS IN THE 1920S?LET’S TAKE A GUESS…
50-50? OR…

APPROVAL?

HOWEVER, THE IDEA OF JOINING THE LEAGUE WAS NOT POPULAR WITH ALL AMERICANS…
Many Americans did not think the Treaty of Versailles was fair. As the League was linked with the treaty, they did not want to be a part of it
Americans wanted to stay out of disputes that might enter their troops into the kind of carnage of the first world war
Others wanted to avoid the economic cost of joining the League
Many Americans were anti-French or Anti-British. They thought the League would be run by these countries and did not want to get involved with their affairs

WILSON’S PARTY LOST THE ELECTION IN 1919. HIS OPPONENTS PROMISED TO FOLLOW A POLICY OF ISOLATIONISM (STAYING OUT OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS). AND SO AMERICA DID NOT JOIN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS…
