brought to you by the league of nations which sounds
- 00:08
a whole lot like a group of evil Supervillains doesn't
- 00:11
all right here's your question what many historians believe caused

potential answer your exclusion nukes three well if we know
- 00:25
anything about the league it's that they had a hard
- 00:27
time deciding on a cool evil villain slogan tio no
- 00:31
that's not right What we actually know is that germany
- 00:34
was a part of the league which means our answer
- 00:36
can't be eh And we don't know about you but
- 00:38
we think it'd be pretty hard to exclude someone from
- 00:41
an organization when they're you know a member of that
- 00:43
organization we also known answer isn't d one of the
- 00:47
reasons the league was founded in the first place was
- 00:49
to actually put a stop to batman and it started
- 00:53
running again It was to put a stop to the
- 00:55
secret diplomacy they believe led to the first world war
- 00:59
which may or may not have something to do with
- 01:01
that man way also know that b isn't the right
- 01:04
Choice why Well the primary goal of the league of
- 01:07
nations was to maintain world peace the onset of the
- 01:10
second world war was a pretty obvious sign that the
- 01:12
whole thing was a big failure and since the development
- 01:15
of nuclear arms didn't really kick off until well well
- 01:19
in the world war to be simply doesn't make sense
- 01:21
that leaves us with the correct answer is c the
- 01:24
united states has a lot of experience with charging Not
- 01:27
only did it leave the charge to establish the united
- 01:30
nations in the wake of world war two but prior
- 01:32
to that it had led the charge to establish the
- 01:35
league of nations or rather president woodrow But when push
- 01:39
came to shove us senate decided america wouldn't join the
- 01:43
league donations for fear of getting involved in everyone else's
- 01:46
business It was the lack of one of the world's
- 01:49
major economic and military powers that ultimately made the league
- 01:53
ineffective at enforcing its rules United nations went on to
- 01:57
replace the league of nations and currently hold one hundred
- 02:00
ninety three member states also seem a lot less like 00:02:03.52 --> [endTime] an evil supervillain group then more like don't don't
