Luckily, the support I received for this task was amazing after World War II ended, I was not alone in wanting to ensure that nothing like this ever happened again. After careful consideration, I decided to base this league in Geneva, Switzerland. Most people could not dispute this because Switzerland had not fought in World War I and remained a neutral country. Not only that, but the Red Cross was based in Switzerland.
We had many succeses throughout the duration of this league. Our system for disputes was quite basic. There were three main ways that we could deal with disputes. Firstly, we could call the two places who were having a disupte to come and discuss the matter peacefully to reach a decision. If things became too ‘intense’, a verbal warning would be used. The second process that we use is scaring the country into agreeing with the decision that the league had made by introducing financial threats to the country. The third method that we sometimes used, but preferred not to is to use forces and physical actions to force the country to agreeing with the council.
Unfortunately, I was unable to convince America to join this league which was quite ironic as I was the one who had the idea for this league. This was mainly due to my health, which was quite poor at the time. I did not have the energy to convince Americans to join this league of nations. America not joining however was a serious blow to the league at the time, which was unfortunate. This is because at the time, we were the most powerful nation.

I agree with the fact of you trying to create an international organization that tries to prevent war. But it just sad it didnt really work out with america. I think maybe if you had created some convincing way for americans to believe at the time they would have supported your program and the program could have been stronger

I think that it is ironic that you founded the League of Nations and then was unable to convince America to join. However, I think it was a very good idea and that the League accomplished many good things. Luckily, during my time as president I did not have anything as difficult to overcome and I admire you for that.
