Answer
There was an organization called the League of Nations, (or "LON" in short) which was formed after World War 1. Its aim was to prevent wars from taking place and world-wide disarmament. Sadly, the main powers like Britain and France were self-minded, and dealing with Great Powers like Japan, Germany, and Italy were inefficient. Several small countries had solved their disputes, however, because they feared trade embargos with these world powers would adversely affect their economy.

When Communists came into power in the USSR (in 1917), the League of Nations banned the USSR, as they feared the spread of Communism. Although the United States started the idea of the LON, the USA did not join because of their isolationism policy.

These inefficiencies of the League of Nations led to outbreak of World War 2. Fortunately, in 1946 the League of Nations volunteered to dissolve themselves because the United Nations (or "UN") had formed in 1945. It has gone from 51 founding members to 192 current members. Today, just about every country - including Israel, North Korea, Iran, and Iraq has joined the UN. Currently (as of November 2009), there are only three countries not a part of the United Nations: Kosovo, who gained independence in February of 2008 (but is not internationaly recognised), the Vatican City, who opted not to join, and Taiwan.

The issue with Taiwan is a little complicated, but the main problem is representing both the People's Republic of China and Taiwan at the same time.

Could Wilson have avoided World War 2 by different actions in 1919?

Wilson did everything in his power to try and prevent another global conflict...It was the treaty of Versailles, itself, which led to the conditions for WWII. Had America been apart of the League of Nations as Wilson wished, it would have had the near global support needed for such an organization. With no America, it became the League of European nations, essentially, and after the horrors of the first world war, Europeans were in no mood for another European conflict by 1936, which led to the allowing of German expansion, which in turn showed Hitler that he had quite a free hand in military affairs for quite some time.
