Société des Nations (League of Nations)

The Société des Nations, or League of Nations, was an international organization established after World War I in 1920 to promote peace and prevent future conflicts. It aimed to resolve disputes diplomatically, impose sanctions on aggressor nations, and encourage cooperation on issues like health, economics, and humanitarian efforts. While it was a pioneering effort in international diplomacy, its effectiveness was limited by the absence of major powers like the United States and its inability to prevent some conflicts, ultimately leading to its decline and replacement by the United Nations after World War II.
