With the intention of fostering peace and security among its member nations, the League of Nations was an international organization established following World War I. Its headquarters were in Geneva, Switzerland, and it was created in 1919 as a result of the Treaty of Versailles. The League sought to avert the start of a new world war and to settle international conflicts amicably via diplomacy and negotiation. Despite its admirable intentions and efforts, the League eventually failed to stop World War II from starting and was abolished in 1946.
