The 28th president of the US, Woodrow Wilson, was the one to design and push for the creation of the League of Nation, as addressed in his 14 point speech following the Treaty of Versaille. The US did not join the League of Nations, in a major example of poor communication between Wilson and the US Senate. The US were isolationist, and the US populace believed that joining an organization dependent on collective security within European countries would only draw them into more European conflicts.]]> 2016-09-11 23:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ddegroot3/25snqz0dk54i/wish/122989745 ddegroot3 https://padlet.com/ddegroot3/25snqz0dk54i/wish/122990971 During the war influential groups in the United States and Britain had urged the creation of such a body, and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson strongly favoured the idea as a means of preventing another destructive world conflict. A league covenant, embodying the principles of collective security (joint action by League members against an aggressor), arbitration of international disputes, reduction of armaments, and open diplomacy, was formulated and subscribed to by the Allies at the Paris Peace Conference (1919). The Covenant established the League’s directing organs: an assembly composed of representatives of all members; a council composed of permanent representatives of the leading Allied Powers (with additional rotating members); and a secretariat (executive), presided over by a secretary general. It also provided for a Permanent Court of International Justice and for a system whereby colonies in Asia and Africa would be distributed among the Allied Powers in the form of mandates. - Britannica Online Encyclopedia, League of Nations article - https://www.britannica.com/topic/League-of-Nations ]]> 2016-09-11 23:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ddegroot3/25snqz0dk54i/wish/122990971
