European coordination (18 14- 1870) also began to develop after the Napoleonic wars in the19th century, which helped to maintain European security and avoid wars. This period also promoted the development of international law (including the Geneva Conventions and The Hague Conventions) and set a standard for humanitarianism in international law.
1889, British pacifist William Randal Cremer and French pacifist Frederic Passy founded the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the pioneer of the League of Nations. At that time, about one third of the world's 100 national parliaments were members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
19 14, 24 countries with parliaments are members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Its mission is to encourage governments to resolve international disputes through peaceful means, and the annual meeting will help governments simplify international arbitration procedures. Its structure includes a parliament, which became the predecessor of the League of Nations structure.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Germany, Austria and Hungary formed the Allies, and Britain, France, Russia and Italy formed the Allies camp. From then on, Europe was divided into two camps, and later it evolved into World War I ... This was the first war between industrialized countries, and it was also the "achievement" brought by industrialization. This "industrial war" has caused incalculable casualties and economic losses.
After the war, it also brought a huge impact, affecting the social, political and economic systems in Europe. At this time, the global anti-war wave is heating up, and people describe World War I as "the war to end all wars".
Some people think that the reasons for the outbreak of war are the arms race, alliance opposition, secret diplomacy, the freedom of monarchies and new imperialism. On the other hand, people of insight hope to establish an international organization to handle disputes in the form of international cooperation.
Task:
The League of Nations aims at maintaining international peace and promoting international cooperation. The convention stipulates that measures such as collective security, disarmament and peaceful settlement of international disputes should be taken to safeguard the territorial integrity and political independence of member States, and economic sanctions should be imposed on violators.
In the 1920s and early 1930s, the League of Nations mainly devoted itself to resolving some territorial disputes, such as the dispute between Sweden and Finland over the Oran Islands, the dispute between Lithuania and Poland over Vilnius, and the dispute between Turkey and Iraq over Mosul.
In addition, he also mediated between Bolivia and Paraguay and did a lot of work to end the protracted Chaco war. In order to prevent war, the League of Nations also organized the Geneva Disarmament Conference, which specially arranged the "mandate rule".
In addition, the League of Nations also pays attention to and assists in dealing with international issues such as health, intellectual property exchange, slave trade, opium trade, refugees and women's rights. For example, 1922, the League of Nations awarded nansen passport to stateless refugees, which was recognized by 52 countries.

Logo:
The League of Nations has no flag or symbol of its own. 1920, the League of Nations put forward the proposal of establishing an official symbol, but the member countries failed to reach an understanding and the proposal was abandoned. But international organizations use different flags and symbols in their own activities. 1929, the league of nations held an international competition to collect logo patterns, but it was not confirmed.
It was not until 1939 that the semi-official badge appeared, with a blue pentagon and two pentagrams in the middle. The pentagon and the pentagram symbolize five continents and five races. The English name of the League of Nations and the French name of the National Association are written above and below the national flag respectively. From 1939 to 1940, flags were used in the buildings of the new york World Expo.
