The purpose of the League of Nations, established after World War I in 1920, was to promote peace and cooperation among countries to prevent future conflicts. Created as part of the Treaty of Versailles, the League sought to provide a platform for dialogue, resolve disputes through negotiation, and implement collective security measures. Although it aimed to strengthen international relations and foster disarmament, the League ultimately struggled with enforcement and participation, as key powers like the United States never joined. Its limitations set the stage for future international organizations, notably the United Nations.
