From idea to action: how the League of Nations moved to real-world steps after World War I

This concise history shows how a bold collective security experiment became a functioning international framework. It explains the moment when January 10, 1920, transformed peace talks into a standing body with real influence. The book traces the founding moment, the early members, and the ambition to bind nations through formal structures. It highlights how disputes were brought before a unified council, the role of international oversight, and the push toward open diplomacy in a fragile postwar world.

• How the League was born and how its early members joined
• The Saar Valley settlement and the shift of coal and sovereignty to an international commission
• Persian emergencies and the first uses of the Council’s meeting power
• The Aaland Islands mediation that demonstrated neutral, multilateral action

Ideal for readers of postwar diplomacy, international history, and the birth of collective security.
