Europe was devastated and, because of the many colonies that European countries had, the war left its mark on almost every corner of the world. The old world never recovered from the shock.” This quote by Edmond Taylor is an excellent description of one of the most terrible and bloody conflicts humanity has ever encountered.
“The First World War killed fewer victims than the Second World War, destroyed fewer buildings, and uprooted millions instead of tens of millions – but in many ways it left even deeper scars both on the mind and on the map of Europe. But what led to these misunderstandings? Could they have been avoided? Why was the League considered so important by the great powers? Moreover, why did the United States never join the League of Nation, even though it was their president, who pointed out its importance? These are the questions the author will attempt to answer in this paper. Although this idea was welcomed by many countries worldwide, the League of Nations did not last for long: the organization collapsed due to misunderstandings between its members and their lack of willingness to act in key moments. In an attempt to achieve this, US President Woodrow Wilson proposed the creation of an international organization, called the League of Nations, the goals of which was to offer countries peaceful, diplomatic means for resolving their disputes, thus avoiding military conflicts.
After the end of the destructive World War I, the victorious Allies (the USA, France, and Great Britain) wanted to ensure that a similar tragedy would never happen again.
