League of Nations

Outlaw nations from ever going to war again.

mad

The US's rejection of the treaty caused many countries to withdraw from the League of Nations. The League of Nations late proved ineffective and was disbanded as the UN was formed in its place.

The League of Nations was largely maginalised during the Second World War and was officially replaced by the United Nation in 1946. There is no set answer without a thorough understanding of the League of Nations as an international body during the 1930's, for the more beligerant nations who were members either left the League or were voted out during the late 1930's. In the interest of answering the question though a few facts should be mentioned; 1. The United States was never a member of the League of Nations. 2. Germany left the League in 1933 with the rise of Adolf Hitler. 3. The Soviet Union was thrown out in December of 1939 for its role in the Invasion of Poland. 4. Italy was thrown out in the late 1930's for its Invasion of Ethiopa. The League did nothing despite the pleas of Ethiopa's Monarch, Haile Sellase (Ras Tafar) 5. Japan was expelled in the 1930's for belligerent activities on the Mainland of China. 6. England and France remained members although Vichy France was never a member and the French membership was taken on by the Free French under Charles De Gaulle.

Membership in the League could draw the United States into future wars.

Explanation: There was a clause in the Versailles Treaty (which set up the League) that stated that if Country A is attacked by Country B, and Country A is a member of the League, then all other countries in the League had to help fight Country B. The Senators who opposed joining the League said that this clause would take away Congress's constitutional right to declare war.

Woodrow Wilson proposed the League of Nations.

the league was important because it failed and led to ww2 which prompted the United nations which has been "successful"

Both had huge colonial Empires. From Start, the UN and predecessor agencies- such as the League of Nations were very keen on ( self-determination of nations) and this obviously worked against colonial structures. Many Empires unravelled during World War I, Britain and France aimed at keeping their foreign interests intact.

Japan withdrew from the League of Nations as a result of the Manchurian Railway Incident in northen China. When the League did not support them and under pressure from other nations Japan withdrew as it no longer supported the concepts of the League. New Answer Headline The Mukden Incident was the destruction of part of a railway Japan had built in Manchuria. It has been revealed that Japan actually blew the railway up, blamed it on China, and used it as an excuse to invade and take control of Manchuria, just the first step in invading the whole of China! China appealed to the League of Nations, who ordered the Japanese government to stop the invasion. The government DID order the army to stop, but it refused and continued the invasion. Japan was pretty much ruled by the army - the citizens had little respect for the politicians but admired the army. Emporer Harohito also approved of the army's actions. The League had no army so could do nothing but, bascially, scold Japan for continuing. Japan left the League shortly afterwards.

because the the American public was doubtful in dealing with international affairs. Wilson attempted to satisfy them by modifying it to some extent, however it was ultimately rejected.

The League of Nations mandates were issued to prepare the middle east for independence.

Russia joined the league of nations in 1934

Wilson came up with the Fourteen Points, part of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI, and part of that was the League of Nations. Part of this was that when one nation got into war, the other nations in the league were expected to help and declare war as well. When Wilson came back to the US to get the treaty signed, the Senate rejected it. The US never signed the Treaty or became part of the League of Nations.

to help guarantee political independence to all states

Woodrow Wilson

it would draw the united states into conflicts all over the world.

America did not join the League of Nations. After the First World War, many in the United States were wary of becoming entangled in another war. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge led a group of senators who were afraid the U.S. might get pulled into another war trying to enforce the Leagues wishes, or that the League might try to interfere with the business and wishes of our country. They were called "isolationists' and this was called the "isolationist era."

Irreconcilables: these isolationist senators opposed any treaty that had a league of nations folded into it.

Reservationists: were a large group of senators that were opposed to the treaty as it was written

Yes we do, it's because Woodrow Wilson. I have no idea wha it is called, but yes we do have a organization like the league of Nations. You might want to look up the name of the organization. Thank!

It would entangle the United States too deeply in the foreign affairs of European nations.

For purposes of war and diplomacy, an Iroquoian confederation- including the Seneca, Onondaga, Mohawk, Oneida, and Cayuga tribes- formed the League of Five Nations, which remained powerful well into the eighteenth century.

First we have to define the word "nation". The first civilization that was created was the shumerian civilization, however first nations that were created was after the distruction of Babylon, when people started differing with their languages and started shaping customs. It is known that Noah's arch stopped on top of Mountain Ararat and from there people started forming, then in that case we can say that Armenians are the oldest nation (also the first ones to accept Christianity as their national religion). However, defining the oldest nation on earth is a hard task.

Stroke

Because, unlike the United Nations, it never had even close to total membership of the countries of the world.

Strong nations like America and Russia not joining meant the League could not enforce its decisions.

When Russia eventually joined, it then left - as did Germany. Showing that if a nation disagreed with the League, it was easy to leave, and be outside their jurisdiction.

The same happened with Japan, which was even a permanent member of its Security Council, with withdrew when it was criticised for invading Manchuria.
