Société des Nations

The Société des Nations, or League of Nations, was an international organization established in 1920 after World War I to promote peace and cooperation among countries. Its main goals were to prevent wars, resolve conflicts through diplomacy, and improve global welfare. Although it succeeded in some areas, such as health and labor rights, it struggled to maintain peace, largely because major powers, like the United States, were not members. The League ultimately failed to prevent World War II and was dissolved in 1946, paving the way for the United Nations, which aimed to address its shortcomings.
