Following WWI, President Woodrow Wilson - in an effort to avoid another world war - suggested the League of Nations: a forum through which the world's powers could discuss matters and provide assistance to threatened nations. Ideally, the world would approach a status of peace. However, the League was inefficient, with state actors lacking incentive to assist those threatened nations. To that end, Wilson neglected those Powers in the US Constitution that are granted to Congress. Among those are the rights to make treaties and declare war. Thus, the US could not join the League of Nations, a committe that would eventually be terminated and replaced by the United Nations.
