The League of Nations - pre-cursor to the United Nations - was
founded in 1919 as a response to the First World War to ensure
collective security and prevent the outbreak of future wars. It was
set up to facilitate diplomacy in the face of future international
conflict, but also to work towards eradicating the very causes of
war by promoting social and economic justice. The philosophy behind
much of the League's fascinating and varied roles was to help
create satisfied populations who would reject future threats to the
peace of their world. In this new volume for Seminar Studies,
Martyn Housden sets out to balance the League's work in settling
disputes, international security and disarmament with an analysis
of its achievements in social and economic fields. He explores the
individual contributions of founding members of the League, such as
Fridtjof Nansen, Ludwik Rajchman, Rachel Crowdy, Robert Cecil and
Jan Smuts, whose humanitarian work laid the foundations for the
later successes of the United Nations in such areas as: the welfare
of vulnerable people, especially prisoners of war and refugees
dealing with epidemic diseases and promoting good health anti-drugs
campaigns Supported by previously unpublished documents and
photographs, this book illustrates how an understanding of the
League of Nations, its achievements and its ultimate failure to
stop the Second World War, is central to our understanding of
diplomacy and international relations in the Inter-War period.
