The purpose of the League of Nations, established after World War I, was to promote international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. Formed in 1920, it aimed to provide a platform for resolving disputes peacefully through dialogue and negotiation rather than warfare. The League sought to address issues such as disarmament, economic cooperation, and social issues, fostering a sense of global community. Although it had notable achievements, particularly in humanitarian efforts, the League struggled with enforcement and ultimately failed to prevent the outbreak of World War II. Its legacy influenced the creation of the United Nations in 1945.
