Description
Delegates presenting at the League of Nations General Assembly, Geneva. The League of Nations was an international organization founded as a result of the Paris Peace Conference, 1919. The League's goals included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation, diplomacy and improving global welfare. Between the years of 1920 and 1946, a total of 63 countries became members of the League of Nations. The Covenant forming the League of Nations was included in the Treaty of Versailles and came into force on 10 January 1920. The League of Nations was dissolved on 18 April 1946, when its assets and responsibilities were transferred to the United Nations. Of the 42 founder members, including Australia, 23 (or 24, counting Free France) remained members until the League of Nations was dissolved in 1946.
