Why Was the League of Nations Founded?

This lesson contains:
A starter that can be edited based on what you taught previously.
An introduction to the post war world. The students will need some background on WW1 ending and how the powers have tried to sort out Europe. if you have taught WW1 and the Treaty of Versailles, this puts you at an advantage as the students have far more context from that previous learning.
An introduction to Woodrow Wilson's idea of a League of Nations and why it might have been introduced.
An activity to study the information and then complete questions on why the League was founded and what it aimed to do. There is also a discussion of the problems that might arise because of America's refusal to join.
A task to learn about some events of the 1920's that the League helped with. For each, students summarise what happened and how the league dealt with it, then rate each event for the success in which it was handled.
A plenary to bring this all together and argue for or against a historian's quote about the League being a good idea to solve world problems.
