Formation of the League of Nations
- The League of Nations was doomed from the start due to the absence of the USA, Germany and Russia.
-The departure of the US was inspired by an idea called "Isolationism": The idea that a country is healthiest when it has removed itself from the potentially damaging effects of international conflict. |

"I had come to regard the U.S. Senate's rejection of the League of Nations as a tragic mistake."
