League of Nations
The league of nations wasn't established until after WWI. It was one of Woodrow Wilson's 14 points that he proposed at the Treaty Of Versailles.
The United Nations predecessor organization was the League of Nations which was founded at the end of WW1 as a result of the Treaty of Versailles and managed to attract at its best the participation of 58 countries during 24 September 1934 and 23 February 1935.
The League of Nations called for the breakup of the territories of the Ottoman Empire mainly in the Middle East. This region saw the emergence of new nation-states following World War I, as territories were redefined and mandates were established. The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire significantly altered the political landscape in the Middle East, leading to the creation of countries like Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.
The mandate system, established by the League of Nations after World War I, significantly reshaped national borders, particularly in the Middle East and Africa. It allowed victorious powers, like Britain and France, to administer former territories of the defeated Central Powers. This often led to arbitrary borders that ignored ethnic, cultural, and historical contexts, sowing seeds of future conflicts. Consequently, many of these borders remain contentious and have contributed to ongoing political instability in the regions affected.

Following WWI, the League of Nations established a system of "Mandates." In theory, the Mandate system had the benevolent intention of preparing the "natives" of various regions for self government. In practice, the granting of mandates often represented nothing more than the granting of spoils to the different victorious allied governments. The basis of the mandate system was Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, which gave broad authority to the mandate powers regarding preparation for self-rule.
The mandate system of the League of Nations, established by the treaties ending World War I. Under this system, the victors of World War I were given responsibility for governing former German and Ottoman territories as mandates from the League. The ultimate goal was development of each mandate toward eventual independence.
In 1922, France was given the mandate over Syria by the League of Nations. This mandate was established following the end of World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, which had previously ruled the region. France governed Syria until it gained independence in 1946, during which time various local nationalist movements emerged.
