Answer 1

Hint: The League of Nations was an International organisation founded after the Paris Peace Conference. It was created for solving a number of global issues. It originated in Britain and was supported by the USA.

Complete Step by Step answer: The League of Nations was established in 1919 after the Paris Peace Conference. From Immanuel Kant’s book ,Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch, the idea of a peaceful community of nations was derived. The functions of the League of Nations included:
- Promoting disarmament
-Preventing wars through collective security
-Resolving global disputes through diplomacy and negotiation.
- Improvement of global welfare
Therefore the correct answer to the question is All of the Above.
The idea of the League of Nations was the brainchild of British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey. He was supported by then President of the USA, Woodrow Wilson and his advisor Colonel Edward. M. House. The idea behind this was to prevent bloodshed and destruction like the First world War. The League undertook the Treaty of Versailles which ended World War I. The headquarters were moved to Geneva.
Option ‘D’ is the correct option.

 Note:The League did not have any official flag or logo. The official languages were French, English and Spanish. The Treaty of Versailles made by the League of Nations forced Germany to give up Czechoslovakia, Belgium , Poland and return Alsace and Lorainne. However Hitler breached the Treaty and the Locarno Pact and sent German army to the Rhineland which was a demilitarised zone. This led to the Second World War in 1939.
