How the League of Nation Affected The World
The League of Nations effectively resolved some international conflicts but failed to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War. They were successful in preventing several small wars. They fixed the territorial disputes between Sweden and Finland, Poland and Lithuania, and Greece and Bulgaria. The League created and directed several agencies that were meant to improve the living conditions of the world's people. Their major objective was failed after the second world war broke out. The “League of Nations” actually got replaced by another body called the UN. The UN priority still is to keep the world at peace. The UN does this by working to prevent conflict; helping parties in conflict make peace; peacekeeping; and creating the conditions to allow peace to hold and flourish. The UN Security Council has the primary responsibility for international peace and security.
