In what year was the League of Nations established?

• A. 1918
• B. 1920
• C. 1946
• D. 1939

Answer: (B)

The League of Nations came into existence as part of the post–World War I peace settlement to promote diplomacy and collective security. Its formal start came in 1920, when the Covenant establishing the League was ratified and the organization began operating. That makes 1920 the year it was established. The other dates relate to different events: 1918 marks the end of World War I, 1939 the start of World War II, and 1946 reflects the period when international cooperation shifted toward the United Nations after the war.
