Evaluating the Success of the League of Nations The League of Nations was formed in 1919 to encourage the member countries to co-operate in trade, improve social conditions, complete disarmament and to protect any member country that was being threatened with war. The League of Nations was the initial idea of Woodrow Wilson, the president of the USA, and was formed to make sure such world atrocities like the First World War never happened again. However, we know that a Second World War with even greater loss of life took place, and therefore most people conclude that the League of Nations failed. But why did the League fail? The League of Nations had many 'design' weaknesses; with probably the most important and noticeable weakness was the absence of the USA. It was a great shock and disappointment for the rest of the world when the American people voted for a 'policy of isolation', and despite the campaigning of Woodrow Wilson, decided not to join the League of Nations. This can be considered a great weakness because the USA was becoming the most powerful and influential country in the world, and therefore the League would probably be unwilling to make a decision which would go against the USA, and it would also mean that a country inside the League, who had trade sanctions placed upon them would still be free to trade with the USA. The League of Nations also seemed to have a weakness in not accepting Germany in the League when it was first formed. This gave the impression that the League was for the 'winners' of WWI, with Britain and France part of the inner council, and kept the German people bitter and still wanting revenge. Another weakness of the League was that it did not have an army of its own, and that if it wanted an army to stand up to a troublesome country, it must raise an army from member countries. This became ineffective, as many member countries were very unwilling to raise an army and physically challenge a country, as they were afraid that it
Military Weakness is also another reason for Rome’s fall because the army is what makes sure that the empire is safe. Document B states that the
Evaluating the Success of the New Deal After The Great Depression America elected Roosevelt to be the President hoping he would get them away from the Depression which was effecting nearly everyone at the time. Roosevelt did get them away from the Depression he made the alphabet agencies, these were Relief, Recovery and Reform agencies helping America. During the New Deal unemployment fell from 25% to 14%, Roosevelt gave the average American Hope however not everything was perfect. With the new deal the N.R.A and the A.A.A were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, little was done to help the Sharecroppers who didn't own they're own lands and the consumer prices didn't rise at the same rate as the earnings. The Alphabet agencies were Roosevelt's agencies that helped get

> Discuss the Congress of Vienna. What did it try to accomplish in Europe? How well did it succeed in achieving its goals?
During his two term presidency, President Woodrow Wilson had a series of achievements and failures. He was a very hard working president that promoted Democracy, was successful when it came to both foreign and domestic policy, and had the traits of a true leader. He cared for the people he represented, and showed it in more ways than one. For the reasons stated, Woodrow Wilson is a president worthy of an A.
Final Paper - Analysis of the United Nations Of the many non-profit institutions, the United Nations is possibly the most prevalent and influential. The United Nations is an authority, extending influence over numerous countries, as well as garnering power and support from them. It began as a replacement, just after the end of the Second World War on the 24th of October, for the League of Nations. This ineffective organization’s flaws were due to it’s leadership by two of Europe’s most destroyed countries- France and England. These two diminished powers were unable to deploy their massacred armies or create trade restrictions.they instead relied on moral condemnation, which could mostly go ignored.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is one of the world’s leading major international organizations. It is both a political and military Alliance of 28 member countries from Europe and North America. The Alliance takes all its decisions by consensus – every member country, regardless of size, has an even say in deliberations and decisions. Each member state is to be dedicated to individual liberty, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. These ideals are at the heart of NATO’s transatlantic bond. Because it is a collective defense with all of NATO’s territories and populations, as set out in the Washington Treaty, an attack on one would be considered to be an attack on all. I propose that the United States remains apart of NATO because of our credibility as a nation to help our allies when they are in need.
In 1919 the countries involved in World War I met at the Paris Peace Conference in hope to find solutions to maintain world peace. In hope to maintain world peace, the Allies who won World War I created an agreement between themselves and the defeated countries. John Maynard Keynes - an English economist – worked for the British government with a position at the treasury. He attended the Paris Peace Conference and wrote the book The Economic Consequences of Peace, in which he stated his opinions about the treaty.

What is the Treaty of Versailles? The Treaty of Versailles was the treaty that ended World War I (WWI). It did fulfill it’s purpose for a time, however The Treaty of Versailles may have been what caused World War II (WWII). The treaty wasn’t well thought out due to the amount of loopholes, and it wasn’t enforced. It was also extremely harsh on the Germans. This treaty put them in severe debt. It also made their army a fraction of what it was before. The Germans also never agreed to the treaty. This angered the Germans and may have been what led to WWII. However such a harsh treaty was only signed due to harsh actions. The Treaty of Versailles wasn’t enforced, and could have been the cause of WWII.
The United Nations was founded with great expectations to establish world peace, based on the principles of collective security and self-determination. Its ill-fated predecessor, the League of Nations, had not been able to secure peace and had fallen apart due to World War 2. As the war came to an end the UN was being setup and tensions between the USA and the USSR were quickly escalating into the conflict known as the Cold War. The UN’s effectiveness was going to be tested out very soon. Could the organization succeed in maintaining peace and enforce collective security or was it going to become a mere instrument of super power policy?
The Effectiveness of International Aid in the Development Process If an individual was having trouble in some way, wouldn’t one’s natural instinct be to help him or her out? This does not merely apply to persons, but also on a larger basis. All over the world, countries are suffering from many problems. The majority of these sufferers are ELDCs (Economically Less Developed Countries).
The United Nations (UN) is an international organization that was formed after the Second World War. The main purpose of UN is to provide security and peace at the international level, resolve conflicts and protect human rights. The UN also promotes international co-operation by maintaining global social, political and economic conditions. However, it is difficult for many countries in the UN to partake in the decision-making because the UN is made up of different countries that have distinct political systems and ideologies. In the past, the UN has helped strengthen international law by developing treaties on human rights, global crime, and other topics of concern.
Decision making is a process whereby decision makers make based on their self-belief and biasness on a certain extent. Hermann (cited Driskell, J. E., & Salas, E. 1991) also noted that, in response to crisis or tough situation, authority and decision-making activities shift to higher levels of a hierarchical structure. This paper will talk about the different decisions making approaches such as unitary and pluralist approaches that both UN and General Dallaire will unknowingly use as well as the hierarchical system that Dallaire has to go through and the repercussions that followed the decisions he made. General Dallaire who has no war experience together with his deputy was to lead the UN peacekeeping operation that was to prevent the mass
Fifty-one countries established the United Nations also known as the UN on October 24, 1945 with the intentions of preserving peace through international cooperation and collective security. Over the years the UN has grown in numbers to include 185 countries, thus making the organization and its family of agencies the largest in an effort to promote world stability. Since 1954 the UN and its organizations have received the Nobel Peace Prize on 5 separate occasions. The first in 1954 awarded to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Geneva, for its assistance to refugees, and finally in 1988 to the United Nations Peace-keeping Forces, for its peace-keeping operations. As you can see, the United Nations efforts have not gone without notice.
