The League of Nations was established as an international peace-keeping organisation in the aftermath of WWi. The LoN was the brainchild of American President, Woodrow Wilson. The aims of the League were disarmament, discouragement of aggression, improvements to living and working conditions across the world and the encouragement of peace through collective security. Italy, France and Britain and Japan were members of the permanent council of the League. America did not join, as the Senate refused to support Wilson's proposal, preferring to remain isolationist.
