Document Summary
World war i was the most devestating conflict ever fought in. Many uropeand had rushed to the colors in 1914 with a very romantic picture of war. That was no longer the case by the end of the war in 1918. Even the victors had been horified by the suffering and loss of life. Europe were determined to never fight another great war. Ironically the aftermath of the war unleased pssions and dislocations that would lead to just such a cataclism. Several efforts followed world war i to ensure that there would never be another great war. Nations that wilson thought would guarantee collective security. The league of nations was the first international organization established on the basis of collective security to preserve world peace. It was created by the versailles peace treaty ending world war i. Europe in the early 20th century was widely seen as a major cause of world war i.
