The First World War killed around 13 million people and most of Europe was left in shatters. UP President Woodrow Wilson came up with a scheme to stop such events from being repeated.
Thirty countries agreed on a proposal to form a commission that would work to bring international peace. This was the first time the world leaders came up with such an effort and the result was the League of Nations.
The League of Nations was an international organisation that was formed after the First World War. It was founded in 1920 to solve the disputes between countries and stop the possibility of open warfare.
It is the world’s first inter-governmental organisation that worked to maintain global peace. It also worked to stop human and drug trafficking, the arms trade, and to improve global health. Though the League had a significant impact in solving international disputes, it stopped functioning in April, 1946.
