Establishment of League of Nations - English

 

The conference came to an end on 21 January 1920 with the inaugural General Assembly of the League of Nations.

The intergovernmental organization ‘League of Nations’ (LN), was founded on January 10, 1920. The main goals of this organization included preventing wars through collective security and disarmament and settling international disputes through negotiation.

Unfortunately, although formed on the basis of goodwill and hope for a peaceful future, it lacked important elements. One such important element was the lack of a powerful nation to lead the actions of the League, as it fully depended on the victorious Great Powers of World War I (France, the UK, Italy and Japan), who were reluctant to do so.

The onset of the Second World War demonstrated that the League had failed in its primary purpose, the prevention of another world war. Having lasted 26 years, the League was disbanded, and was replaced by the United Nations (UN).

Delegates of this committee will have to go back to the past to unify the world and to prevent future wars, addressing the issues of League of Nation. It has already failed once, will it fail again?

 

Members: 42 founding members, 23 remained until it was dissolved:

Argentina (-), Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil (-), UK, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile (-), China, Colombia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia (-), Denmark, El Salvador (-), France (-), Greece, Guatemala (-), Haiti (-), Honduras (-), Italy (-), Japan (-), Liberia, Netherlands, Nicaragua (-), Norway, Panama, Paraguay (-), Iran, Peru (-), Poland, Portugal, Romania (-), Thailand, Spain (-), Sweden, Switzerland, Uruguay, Venezuela (-), Yugoslavia

 

The Ottoman Empire and division of Turkey – Turkey

The Ottoman Empire had been the leading Islamic state in political, cultural and ideological terms. However, the Paris Peace Conference had no good results for it. The "Big Four" invited the Ottoman Empire to the Paris Peace Conference on 22 April 1920. The preconditions of the deal were announced to Turkish delegations. Under these circumstances,

1. The Ottoman lands will be shared among French, Italians, the English, and Armenians.

2. The Ottoman State will reduce the number of armed forces.

The Turkish delegation, demanding that the conditions be very heavy and light, refused to accept this request and returned on 11 July 1920. The most controversial issue was the agreement about the Ottoman Empire, but winners of the war could not agree on this topic.

For instance, Aegean region was such a controversial issue that Italy and Britain didn't agree on any condition. Despite the fact that Italy wanted the Aegean region, Britain gave Aegean region to Greece, which it could control easily. Also, England never wanted Italy to be in a position close to the straits. Another dispute is that the Armenian arranged maps to establish a state in the Eastern Anatolia region, but this idea, which was accepted by all states, remained on paper due to the Armenian gangs being scattered in the Eastern Anatolia by the Turkish division.

We will revisit history to examine the ways in which European powers interfered in the affairs of the former Ottoman Empire either in favor of or against specific minority groups. The committee must consider whether participants of the Paris Peace Conference have the right to dictate sovereignty.

What specific actions would the committee be willing to take to protect new minority states, should it choose to create them in the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire and in the age of nationalism?

Members: Ottoman Empire, France, United Kingdom, United States, Greece, Armenia, Italy.
