Best Answer

The League of Nations was initiated at the Paris Peace Conference in an effort to stave off conflict and ensure that a war as devastating as World War I would not happen again. Under Woodrow Wilson's guidance, countries following principles of Liberal Internationalism joined the league on the basis of the premise that an eschewing of secret alliances, bilateralism and war mongering in favour of a the notion of a harmony of interests and multilateralism would result in an avoidance of arms races and self-interested action and, consequently an avoidance of war. The League of Nations was intended as the vehicle for this multilateralism. Unfortunately, it was shown to have been a flawed vehicle and efforts were largely thwarted by big power politics and continuing arms races which culminated in the Second World War.

There was not one that joined first because it was an agreement, it was created by the U.S. but due to a new presidential election and isolationist ideals in the population they did not join.

Why should the US of abandoned there policy of isolationism and of joined the League of Nations?

reason why to abandon the policy... 1. If you ignore a problem for too long the war might come to your doorstep before you know it. 2. You are less likely to have friends when its your turn to ask for help. 3. The goings on of another country (especially oil producing ones) can have a tremendous impact on your own country. reasons to join the league of nations... There are many reasons the U.S. should join the League of Nations. For one thing, the U.S. could settle their disputes with other countries of the world without having to go to war. By keeping out of war several thousands of Americans would be able to keep their lives. Another reason that the U.S. should join the League of Nations is for collective security. If one country of the League were to attack the U.S. then all of the other countries in the League would be bound to the U.S. to assist them. One last reason the U.S. should join the League of Nations is that its goal is to improve the international standard of living.
