Following the First World War, President Wilson wanted to create an international organization that would help promote peace and stability among nations, and prevent future wars. He believed that the League of Nations would be the best way to achieve this goal, and he championed its creation as a crucial component of his vision for a post-war world.
In his famous speech delivered to the U.S. Congress in January 1918, President Wilson outlined his vision for a world in which democracy and self-determination would be respected and promoted. He argued that the League of Nations would help make this vision a reality by providing a forum for nations to resolve disputes peacefully, and by fostering international cooperation and understanding.
The League of Nations was established in 1920, and although the United States ultimately did not join, it played an important role in promoting international cooperation and resolving conflicts in the years leading up to the Second World War. President Wilson's advocacy for the League of Nations is considered a key part of his legacy, and an important moment in the history of international relations.
