Woodrow Wilson had a plan involving many countries, which he intended to use to put a stop to any other world wars, called collective security. He believed that if all the colonies in the world united under one system, then there could never be another world war. If all the worlds superpowers were trustworthy and allies with each other, then theoretically there couldn't possibly be another war. Wilson made a proposition to start what was called the "League of Nations", which would bring everyone together. unfortunately, This did not work out in his favour because countries like Russia, Germany, And even his own country of the USA did not partake in it. The Germans, who arguably started the first war, needed to be part of the league to work. Also, The USA did not like Wilson's ideas and shot him down so his country could not be a part either. the league was doomed from the time it was created, because it was not strict enough, nor did it have enough actual influence on the countries to do anything. If a colony didn't like what the league was doing, it could simply leave and do whatever it wanted. Many contributing factors led to the demise of the League, and eventually to another even larger world war, which was exactly what Wilson planned to stop.
