The League of Nations was set up by the Treaty of [blank_start]Versailles[blank_end].
The League was Wilson's dream for a [blank_start]new world order[blank_end] - a new way of conducting foreign affairs that would abolish [blank_start]war[blank_end] and keep the world safe, but less than a quarter of a century later Wilson's dream lay in ruins.
Its aims
to stop wars
to encourage [blank_start]disarmament[blank_end]
to make the world a better place by improving people's working conditions and by tackling disease
Its organisation
an [blank_start]assembly[blank_end], which met once a year
a council, which met more [blank_start]regularly[blank_end] to consider crises
a small secretariat to handle the paperwork
a Court of International [blank_start]Justice[blank_end]
a number of committees such as the International Labour Organisation and the Health Committee to carry out
its [blank_start]humanitarian[blank_end] work
Its main strengths (in theory)
set up by the Treaty of Versailles, which every nation had signed.
[blank_start]58[blank_end] nations as members by the 1930s.
to enforce its will, it could offer [blank_start]arbitration[blank_end] through the Court of International Justice, or apply trade [blank_start]sanctions[blank_end] against countries that went to war.

set up by the Treaty of Versailles (which every nation hated)
