Summary
After the Great War, the pro-league movement realised its goal of creating a new international organisation for peace. Yet, the outbreak of the Second World War, another global conflict that the pro-league activists had worked hard to prevent, led their contemporaries, including many League supporters and subsequent generations of internationalists, to a damning conclusion: the pro-league movement of 1914–1918 and the League of Nations had failed.
