Students can examine the creation of the League of Nations, evaluate its effectiveness during the post-World War I period and its evolution into the United Nations following World War II. The League of Nations was created to police the international community, but it did not have the ability to impose consequences for groups/nations/regions that violated international law. Additionally, the most powerful nations in the world, like the United States, did not buy into its mission and determinations. This led to an ineffective organization that fell apart when it was needed to help build a coalition to fight Hitler. Lessons learned from this organization were addressed when the United Nations was created during the period immediately following World War II. ||
