Summary
The League of Nations was a creation of countries in order to preform collective security around the world. However, it was considered doomed since the start because it did not involve 3 of the worlds super powers (Germany, Russia, and US). Germany wasn't asked to join because of the War Guilt Clause, and with placed war reparations, Russia just recently became a communist country, and the US didn't join because of their own congress, and Isolationism.
