League+of+Nations+FL

= The League of Nations = The Leage of nations was the precursor to the United Nations. It was founded as a result of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 and went on until 1946 when the UN was formed. The leauge basically served as a peace keeper by settling disputes between other countries by arbitration and negotiations. It also dealt with human trafficking, drug and arms trade, prisoners of war, and the protection of minorities in europe. However, the league failed at these tasks because it lacked its own army and because it lacked its own army it required the help of the member countries which in turn required a unanimous decision of all the members for them to do anything. There also were people saying that since the United States didn't joint the league there was a lack of power.
