The League of Nations was an international organization that aimed to promoted co-operation between nations and hoped through this dialouge to forgo warfare. The league was created by the Versailles Treaty in an effort to break up the block dipolmacy system used by the major powers of Europe that led to World War I. It had its first meeting in 1920 but remianed ineffective in promoting world peace through its 27 year career as an organization, primarily because it did not have the backing of the United States of America, and was largely ignored by Italy and Nazi Germany. At its height, it had 58 member states.

The League of Nations was an intergovernmental organization founded on 10 January 1920 as a result of the Paris Peace Conference that ended the First World War. It was the first international organization whose principal mission was to maintain world peace.[1] Its primary goals, as stated in its Covenant, included preventing wars through collective security and disarmament and settling international disputes through negotiation and arbitration.[2] Other issues in this and related treaties included labour conditions, just treatment of native inhabitants, human and drug trafficking, arms trade, global health, prisoners of war, and protection of minorities in Europe.[3] At its greatest extent from 28 September 1934 to 23 February 1935, it had 58 members.

It was a group of nations rather like the "United Nations" we have now.

It was formed after the First World War to promote peace in the world.

Unfortunately it was not very successful and the Second World War started

about 20 years later.

At a more trivial level, it's the name of a planned new European football (soccer) tournament.

Why didn't the UN join the league of nations?

Original Answer: Because they are decades away. Improved: The United Nations are not a country. They couldn't have "joined" the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the predecessor of the United Nations - the League of Nations failed, and so, many years later in 1942 (I believe it was that year) they founded the United Nations as an improved "League of Nations."
