Why was the League of Nations formed?

Answer:

The first world war was possibly the most horrific war Europeans had experienced up from the thirty years war. To prevent such things from happening again, they needed an international alliance who would police and mediate diplomatic problems. Also, they needed an alliance to ensure that Germany would pay its reparations as well as uphold all its military restrictions, such as a paltry defense army whose maximum number could not exceed 100,000. Ultimately, they failed, as they were unable to militarily enforce these laws. As the league of nations degenerated, the Second World War was beginnning. When they realized how they could have prevented such a disaster from repeating itself, it was too late.
