Key Points
- League of Nations:
- The League of Nations was established after World War I with the primary aim of maintaining world peace and preventing conflicts through collective security and disarmament.
- It was the first international organization to promote the idea that aggression against one member would be considered aggression against all members, thus enacting the principle of collective security.
- Though it ultimately failed to prevent World War II, its establishment laid the groundwork for future international cooperation and the concept of collective security.
Additional Information
- NATO:
- Founded in 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance that also operates on the principle of collective security. However, it was formed much later than the League of Nations.
- NATO's primary purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of its member countries through political and military means.
- United Nations:
- Established in 1945, the United Nations (UN) succeeded the League of Nations and aims to promote international cooperation and maintain peace and security through collective measures.
- While the UN has been more successful than its predecessor, it was not the first entity to introduce the concept of collective security.
