Solution

The correct option is C The League of Nations
People realised the need to have an organisation or an international platform at the end of WWI. Such a need led to the formation of the League of Nations in January 1920 to settle international disputes and maintain peace worldwide. It was the predecessor to the United Nations until 20 April, 1946. The ineffectiveness of the League to enforce its mandates and decisions was regarded as its primary failure ultimately leading to the outbreak of the Second World War.
