What was the purpose of the League of Nations?

To promote military alliances between nations
To encourage international trade
To promote international cooperation and peace
To oversee colonial territories

The correct answer is: To promote international cooperation and peace

The League of Nations was established after World War I with the primary goal of promoting international cooperation and maintaining peace among nations. It aimed to create a platform for dialogue and dispute resolution to prevent future conflicts, particularly in the wake of the devastating effects of the war. By providing a forum for countries to collaborate on various issues, the League sought to encourage diplomacy and foster understanding to diminish tensions between nations. The League was an early attempt at creating a global system for governance and peacekeeping, setting the stage for future international organizations like the United Nations.
