Wilson had formulated his famous "Fourteen Points" in 1918, intended to secure peace, arrange for an orderly establishment of new nations to replace the now fallen Axis Empires, and prevent future wars. His fourteenth point was the establishment of a "general association of nations" to enforce the other thirteen points and as a place where future conflicts between nations would be solved by arbitration instead of war.
So basically, the League of Nations was Wilson's baby. His efforts to get it off the ground and to make the US join the League earned Wilson a Nobel Peace Prize, but in the end he could not get the US to join, because Congress feared that the League's articles of association (especially Article X) could at a future point draw the US into a war against its will.
President Woodrow Wilson tried to get Congress to approve the US entry into the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the predecessor to the United Nations.
The first most important element of Woodrow Wilson's postwar vision was the creation of a league of nations. The second was disarmament.
Woodrow Wilson was unwilling to compromise with Henry Cabot Lodge, a powerful senator. Without LodgeÕs support, Wilson was unable to obtain a two-thirds majority to ratify the Treaty of Versailles and join the League of Nations.
The League of Nations is the name of the organization that President Wilson set up for the preservation of peace after World War 1.
