League of Nations Successes

The successes of the League of Nations are frequently obscured by its failures – especially in the 1930’s when Europe and eventually the world moved towards war – the one thing the League of Nations was set up to avoid. However, in the honeymoon period of its first few years when there appeared to be a genuine desire for peace after the horrors of World War One, the League did have successes, though these tended to be in areas that had little strategic or economic importance.
