- 1. The formal abandonment of the League of Nations marked a significant turning point in international relations and governance, as the organization, established after World War I in 1920 with the noble aim of promoting peace and cooperation among states, gradually revealed its limitations and failures in preventing conflicts, notably the outbreak of World War II. Despite its initial promise and the idealism of its founding members, the League struggled with issues of enforcement, the absence of key powers such as the United States, and a lack of commitment from nations to uphold collective security principles. By the late 1930s, as tensions escalated across Europe and Asia, the League's inability to effectively address aggression from countries like Japan, Italy, and Germany led to its diminished credibility and influence on the global stage. The eventual dissolution of the League in 1946, following the establishment of the United Nations, symbolized a recognition of its shortcomings, while also serving as a historical lesson in the pursuit of lasting peace and international cooperation, emphasizing the need for a more robust and adaptable framework capable of addressing the complex challenges of a rapidly changing world.
