Pros And Cons Of The League Of Nations

Maintaining peace is an important aspect to the success of a country. Without it, the way our country functions would not be as smooth as it is today. Unfortunately, while everyone may wish for peace on earth, the probability of this happening is incredibly slim. Every country has their own traditions, cultures, and history.
