10 fact about the league of nations?
464249
The League of Nations was the brainchild of the US President Woodrow Wilson. It was one of his fourteen points which he outlined at the Treaty of Versailles after WWI. The Americans, however, were the only ones not to join the League of Nations because Congress did not ratify it. Partly because of this, it was doomed to be a useless world peace-keeper.

No.  It was set up with good intentions.  However the only people bound to its rules were its members. So if you didn't like it you could leave.  Like Japan did. \nAlso after pushing for its creation the US refused to join.  This meant that the emergent superpower was not part of the league.  The older powers such as the UK had been bankrupt by  the war and owed, mainly the US, a lot of money.  They were in no shape to get into a real showdown over the actions of other nations.\nThat's not to say the league had no successes, however they were overshadowed by its ultimate failure.

History has taught us that peace must be kept at all costs. At the end of World War 1, the common goal between the victorious nations throughout the world was to declare peace. The leading statesmen of these triumphant nations met in Paris to draw up the Treaty of Versailles, which would decide the fate of the central powers. Woodrow Wilson, the American President, created fourteen points as the basis for peace negotiations. Among these fourteen points was the most controversial and yet the most important to President Wilson, the League of Nations. President Wilson developed its charter and soon died from exhaustion after his own country, the United States, refused to ratify it in the senate. American policy had temporarily shifted from isolationism to internationalism because of the war, however the United States senate was not ready for the responsibilities of a world peacekeeper. Due to a republican majority, senators Henry Cabot Lodge, Alfred Beveridge, and other isolationist senators helped to sway the rest of congress to deny the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles. These senators believed that by entangling themselves in an international organization they would create new alliances, which would commit them to go to war. Also, Lodge felt that the League of Nations would be able to control the United States military by limiting the number of armaments that a nation could have. Due to Article 10 and the limitations on armaments, which the senators objected, and the inability to compromise on the deadlock between the President’s beliefs and the Senators, led to the failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles. These factors lead the senate to their decision, which left the world vulnerable for another war and the eventual demise of the League of Nations.
