As stated in the text book, Wilson hoped the league would “end all wars” however, he had marked limit and he opposed severe realities. Like we discussed in class he could not get his own government to accept the plan and the United States did not join the League of…

It is in the postwar time periods of the Napoleonic Wars and World War I that Europe sees a new way of addressing the underlying causes of war in the attempt to prevent another: collective security. Collective security is when a large group of nations agree to not attack each other as well as preserve the provisions of their treaties and/or agreements. It is during both these postwar time periods that collective security is practiced. However, both time periods have differences in the way…

that the country would eventually join the war. Which is why it is critical to look at President Woodrow Wilson’s speeches he made before and after entering World War I. His speech that was created before the United States entered in 1917 “A World League of Peace” hold subtle, but important differences and similarities from his second speech, “The Fourteen Points.” I honestly believe that there are more differences than similarities between the two. These differences can be interpreted to how…

prove to be a catalyst for peace discussions and the forming of the constitution of the League of Nations. Wilson brought together both warring coalitions to attempt and adopt a treaty, the Treaty of Versailles, attracting them with points directed toward both parties.

The British also dealt with the Abyssinian Crisis very badly as it alienated Mussolini and undermined the League of Nations particularly because of the Hoare-Laval Pact.
