Today we will be reading about the League of Nations, as well as thinking about why the USA did not join the League of Nations and how this impacted its ability to achieve its goals. As we evaluate the effectiveness of the League of Nations, we will keep in mind the League's main goals:
1. To discourage aggression from any nation
2. To encourage countries to co-operate, especially in business and trade
3. To encourage nations to disarm
4. To improve the living and working conditions of people in all parts of the world
Your homework assignment is to pretend you are an American correspondent for a British newspaper, the Daily Express, 1921. Write a short report explaining why the USA has not joined the League of Nations. This must be at least one paragraph and is due on Wednesday (P1M/P2M) or Thursday (P2G/P4G).
