Overview

The League of Nations emerged from the ashes of World War I as the world's first intergovernmental organization dedicated to preventing future global conflicts through collective security and diplomacy. Championed by Woodrow Wilson and formalized in the Treaty of Versailles, it promised disarmament, arbitration, and mutual guarantees of territorial integrity. Despite early idealism, its failure to curb aggressions by Italy and Japan highlighted the limits of international cooperation without universal buy-in.
