League of Nations of 1919 The League of Nations in 1919 was an ultimate result of the Treaty of Versailles. This was purposed in World War I and in the fourteen points. The League of Nations was created to be a force to create permanent security and settlement. The League of Nations soon wanted the US to join but the US was in no way ready or willing to join. This caused issues for the League of Nations because the US was one of the strongest and most powerful countries in the world. A reason the US did not join was they saw that if there was a trade banning the US was not obliged to obey because America was not a member of the League of Nations. This does not allow the League of Nations to become its strongest because of outside large countries. Later on though in about 1945 the US became willing to join the League of Nations.
