The founding of the League of Nations in 1919 marked a significant attempt to promote international cooperation and prevent future wars after World War I. Established as part of the Treaty of Versailles, the League aimed to provide a platform for resolving disputes and fostering dialogue among nations. Although it ultimately faced challenges and limitations, the League laid the groundwork for future international organizations, including the United Nations.

The founding of the League of Nations in 1919 represented idealistic hopes for global peace, which were later reflected in poetry questioning collective security and human nature. Poets grappled with the disillusionment of these aspirations, shaping a critical narrative in post-war literature.
