Introduction
The League of Nations was a world organization developed to solve world problems and ensure peace and balance in the world. After World War I, Europe has been totally devastated politically, economically, and militarily. In order to prevent another war in Europe, president Woodrow Wilson introduced the idea of a League of Nations in his 14th point. The League of Nations was used as a way for major world power to resolve problems through negotiation and peaceful actions. However, the United State Senate refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles because of president Wilson's political blunders. Wilson upset the republican party by refusing to appoint a prominent republican and refused to make new changes to appease the republican party, lead by Henry Cabot Lodge. In consequence to Wilson's stubbornness, it excluded the United States involvement with the League of Nations. The original members of the league of nations were the victorious Allies of WW1(except US) and most of the neutral nations. Later members included Bulgaria(1920), Austria(1920), Hungary(1920), Germany (1926), and the USSR(1934). In many aspects, the League of nation was beneficial to the world but it's major downfall is it's lack of ability to do the job it's designed for: prevent war and institute peace.
