Which international organization did Woodrow Wilson advocate after World War I to prevent future wars?

• A. United Nations
• B. The League of Nations
• C. NATO
• D. The Warsaw Pact

Answer: (B)

Woodrow Wilson promoted an international body designed to prevent future wars by settling disputes through diplomacy and collective security. He spelled out this approach in his Fourteen Points, arguing that nations should join together to deter aggression and resolve conflicts without resorting to new wars. That vision became the League of Nations, the first major attempt to create a permanent global security organization after World War I. It aimed to provide ongoing negotiation, arbitration, and collective action to keep the peace.

Context helps: the United Nations later built on this idea after World War II, while NATO and the Warsaw Pact arose in the Cold War era as military alliances. The League of Nations itself faced significant challenges—most notably, the United States never joined, which limited its effectiveness—but it established the model of international cooperation that the United Nations would later expand upon.
