Literary Review
From the Paper
"The history of the League of Nations, although being a legitimate field of study has been subject to very little revisionist literature. Even Boemeke, Feldman and Glaser offer little reassessment, regardless of the title of their work. Furthermore as Macmillan outlines "Only a handful of eccentric historians still bother to study the League of Nations" . Given this it is difficult to interpret and evaluate different schools of thought on this issue and the relative bias that such views would provide."
"During the research for this report two sources proved to be extremely useful. These were Leroy Bennett's International Organisations and Alan Sharp's The Versailles Settlement. Bennett's work focuses on the actual logistical processes involved in the League of Nations and outlines in eloquent detail the roles and responsibilities of the various organs of the League. Armstrong's From Versailles to Maastricht also achieves this."

The League of Nations and the United Nations, 2005.
This paper discusses the participation of the U.S. in the League of Nations and the United Nations as an element of the American national interest.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the U. S. failed to support the League of Nations, America supported the United Nations because the supreme national interest of America was to obtain a world atmosphere in which the United States could grow its inner social values devoid of undue commotion or danger from the outside. The author points out that collective action via the United Nations instead of unilateral action was considered politically viable on key political issues. The paper concludes that the League of Nations and the United Nations disappointed hopes the following the two world wars because, in no way, can they be an autonomous political power; at best, the U.N. is a mirror image of the opposing interest of autonomous states.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the United States of America the major disagreement on both the groundwork venture and the refined Covenant of the League of Nations had been on the base that the League would function as an intrusion with the sovereignty of America and with the Monroe principle, that it concerned desertion of the traditional American policy, which had not been in favor of entrapped coalitions, and that the government did not have the power, within its Constitution, to insert such an agreement . Independence has revealed to be just so much freedom of action on the behalf of countries as is coherent with their responsibility, within international law and principles, to authorize the application of uniform independence or freedom of action by their sister countries. The League agreement had assured all States in their application of this sovereignty free from coercion by other Countries, and he who desires more is actually in search of the authorization thoughtlessly to ignore these commitments -- to refuse, for instance, the fair rulings of a properly established tribunal -- which is the German perception of independence."

Abstract
This paper describes how, after the first World War steps were taken toward a unified group of member nations across the globe that would together form The League of Nations. The paper outlines the history of the League's formation and discusses its role and value in today's society.

Introduction
The League of Nations is born
Modern Day Reflection upon the League of Nations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When the horrible fighting of World War I finally ended in November, 1918, the entire civilized world, in catching its collective breath, soon realized that not only the war that had just concluded, but indeed all war, was a revolting part of the human experience that was begging to be eradicated once and for all. It was during this time that the first steps were taken toward a unified group of member nations, across the globe that would together form what would come to be called The League of Nations. Lasting until 1945 and then morphing into the modern day United Nations, the League was an experiment in world government that, as this research will discuss, is imitated and cited to this day as an attempt to attain world peace. Additionally, this research will take a deeper look into the origins of The League of Nations, its achievements and controversies."

From the Paper
Inis L. Claude stated that 'One World' is in some respects an idea land an aspiration born of modern interpretations of ancient moral thoughts and of rational estimates of the requirements for human survival. Both the League of Nations and its successor the United Nations were created as international organizations with a vested interest in maintaining the peace, preventing war, creating a mechanism or set of mechanisms for international cooperation and diplomacy and otherwise serving as trustees of ...

Abstract
This paper discusses the failure of the League of Nations. The paper contends that the League failed because the major powers of the world would not support it. The paper goes further to explain that the governments of the major powers not only turned their backs and stopped listening to the League; they rejected it from the outset. The paper states that the failure of the League to accomplish their ultimate goal -the prevention of war- signalled its demise. The paper defines the League as an international experiment that was built with the best of intentions but only lasted until hostilities broke out across Europe a meagre 20 years later.

From the Paper
"Globalization throughout the world in the last century has necessitated the creation of an international governing body. The present day's United Nations and its predecessor, The League of Nations, have fulfilled that role since the end of the First World War. Before the Great War, World War I, there was no international body and no way to resolve conflicts that led to war. The destruction of the Great War had ravaged the entire world and showed the leaders of every nation that war was not helpful to their countries, even if they were victorious. These leaders desired to form an assembly of nations that could represent the world as a whole and assure the prevention of war. Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States in 1919, was the biggest supporter of the idea of a League of Nations and he thought that the world's problems could be resolved peacefully in a diplomatic way.

Abstract
The League of Nations, which lasted from 1920 to 1946, was born out American outrage over the idea that Americans were sacrificing increasing numbers of men towards making the world safe for democracy while Europeans were concerned with potential war booty. This paper traces the beginnings of the League with Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points", his intentional exclusion of Russia and Germany from the League and the part the League played in causing the Second World War.
From the Paper
"Americans distrusted foreign alliances after the revelation of the secret treaties and subsequent revelations that most of the horror stories of German atrocities that encouraging America?s entry into the war had been fabricated in London. (Brinkley, p. 358.) Whether or not America?s participation in the League of Nations could have prevented World War II is a matter of speculation, but Wilson predicted the possibility as he fruitlessly campaigned for his cause. The complex issues leading to World War II were based in the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles that included reparations of $32 billion. The forces in Germany that had pursued policies of world domination before 1914 remained powerful and expectant; the German right denied there had been any Allied victory."

From the Paper
"The following is a survey of the League of Nations, the predecessor to the United Nations which was created at the Paris Peace Conference after World War I. This survey will outline what the League was, why the United States -- after originally being the driving force behind the League's creation -- ended up refusing to participate in it, what successes the League had, and why it failed in the 1930s, leading to World War II.
In the aftermath of World War I, the "war to end war," the victorious Allied leaders were deeply concerned to ensure that such a war could not happen again. Among the means considered for preventing future general wars was the formation, for the first time, of an international organization that would embody the "world community," and that would act to restrain potential future aggressors. Such organizations had been proposed before, both..."

The Tragedy of Woodrow Wilson, 2006.
A psychological analysis of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and why he was to blame for the failure of the League of Nations.

Abstract
This paper draws a psychological profile of President Woodrow Wilson and then uses the profile to explain why Wilson was ultimately responsible for the failure of the League of Nations even though he was also the League's greatest champion. The paper suggests that Wilson's belief in his God-like infallibility made it impossible for him to see the flaws in the League of Nations and prevented him from listening to the legitimate reservations about the League expressed by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. The paper concludes that the Covenant of the League of Nations was not ratified because of Woodrow Wilson's inflexible stand on what he considered the greatest document in human history.
From the Paper
"As Woodrow Wilson sailed home from Europe aboard the George Washington steamship, he held in his hands the Treaty of Versailles, and, attached to it, the Covenant of the League of Nations. His vision was a simple one: nations united, people from across the globe brought together under a banner of peace and goodwill. His League of Nations would ensure a lasting peace for generations to come and prevent the atrocities of World War I from ever occurring again. His motives seemed to be altruistic. The nations of Europe had supported Wilson and his idea. But why did the United States, Wilson's own country, refuse to join? The answer lies in its creator. Woodrow Wilson was responsible for failure of the United States to join the League of Nations."

Explores if the United Nations (UN) has become an obsolete organization.

Abstract
This paper explains that, while the United Nations (UN) might have been effective in living up to its potential at the outset, that capacity has diminished year after year amid growing mismanagement and corruption within its ranks. The author points out failures of the Security Council and peacekeeping missions and scandals involving criminal schemes, pedophile rings and prostitute trafficking. The paper concludes that just as the League of Nations was disbanded due to loopholes within its structure, the UN also needs to at least face a substantial transfiguration in order to maintain its core goals.
From the Paper
"The UN also is responsible for providing humanitarian relief to nations and peoples in need. Although embargoes were placed on Iraq, the UN allowed Saddam to sell his oil for food and medicine under the 'Food for Oil Program' created by the UN. "The UN's biggest-ever humanitarian undertaking... (became) it's biggest-ever scandal." Document after document was uncovered in 2003, detailing the corruption and naming UN officials who had taken bribes."

The Irish Land League, 2008.

Abstract
This paper explains that the movement for Irish independence began in 1869 with the formation of the Irish National Land League, which sought to have the native Celtic, Irish-Catholic peasantry own the land they worked rather than to be subject to English and Anglo-Irish landowners. The author describes the ways that the awesome influence of the peaceful Irish National Land League sparked two and half decades of radical reforms, which the Irish had tried to achieve through violent rebellion and the guerrilla tactics of secret societies such as The Ribbonmen. The paper concludes that the genius of the founders of the Land League was that once the Irish owned the land in their native country, they could inevitably achieve Home Rule, which led to their independence.
From the Paper
"Wyndham Land Act 1903 and Birell's Land Act of 1909 further continue the process of redistributing land from landlords to Irish farmers. Both bills provided incentives for landlords to sell their land to Irish Catholics and provided loans to the farmers buying the land. The English concessions were in large part a coercive measure to quell the growing number of voices, even from their own leaders, in support of Irish Home Rule. Yet with each new reform the Irish stepped ever closer to their goal of autonomy and eventually, independence."

Abstract
This paper explains that the history of the League of Women Voters begins with the very inception of the Women's Movement and the fight for liberation in the United States. Carrie Chapman Catt founded the League of Women Voters in 1920 during the Chicago convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. The author points out that a central characteristic of the League is its inclusive attitude and its non-partisan nature, which provides an unbiased platform for debate and decision making. The paper relates that, since its inception, the League of Women Voters, which is organized at the grassroots level, has dealt with numerous issues covering a wide range of social, political issues, environmental and conservation issues.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Not only was the League of Women Voters constituted to continue the "mighty experiment" in women's rights and continue the work that had lead to the female vote; but it was also to "help 20 million women carry out their new responsibilities as voters." An important reason for the creation of the League was that Catt and many other women in the suffrage movement realized winning suffrage was only the beginning of the struggle towards full rights and privileges for women within society. They also realized that there was a large amount of education of women voters needed if the full liberation of women was to be achieved."

Abstract
This essay explains the tensions between Germany and the Allies created by the Treaty of Versailles. It explains how the failure of the League of Nations to preserve peace around the world became a major contribution to the declaration of war. It explains the fact that the war was the only way to create jobs and end the Great Depression. It also explains why the rise of the Nazi Party and the German invasion of Poland led to the declaration of War.
From the Paper
"The Second World War erupted in 1939, and resulted in the greatest human suffering and human devastation in history. In fact, more than 50 million people lost their lives during this war. The fighting in this war was more savage than ever before or since, the latest technology was used and death camps were introduced for the first time. The Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, the Great Depression and the Rise of the Nazi Party were the main causes for this dreadful war."

Delian League, 2007.
This paper examines the actions and the importance of the Delian League in ancient Greek history.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at ancient Greek history and explains that the formation of the Delian league is a significant turning point in history. The writer notes that the Delian League was established soon after the victory won at the 'Battle of Salamis', when the Persian wars were fought. The writer explains that the Delian league was named thus because of the fact that its treasury was located at Delios. The writer concludes that the Delian League came to an abrupt end in the year 405, although not without leaving a significant impact on the history of the world, especially because of the fact that the Delian League is, even today, taken as an example by various organizations such as NATO.
From the Paper
"Why was it considered important to form the Delian League? It must be stated that there were several different causes, the more important one being that at that time, Sparta was regarded as one of the larger powers, and when the Persians, under Darius and Xerxes invaded Sparta, the city felt a loss of prestige and power. Added to this was the simple fact that the Spartans were not known for their strength of character or purpose, and the tide turned against Pausanias, the victor of Plataea, and the Ionians came to the realization that the Battle of Greece need never have been fought, but for the personal follies and foibles of this leader. When Pausanias was recalled to Sparta, the Ionian allies soon appealed to the Athenians, and when Sparta decided to send out Dorcis to combat Pausanias, it was discovered that Aristides was in unquestioned command of the allied fleet."

Abstract
This paper examines how the modern and ancient history of Yemen is filled with conflict and countless examples of conflict resolution, some successful but many disastrously unsuccessful. It looks at how the country has been divided and reformed, the subject of colonization, the victim of several complete governmental takeovers and last but not least the victim of bloody civil war. The paper also discusses how the conflicts in Yemen, arising from a historically challenged social and political network, are frequently addressed by the Arab League in an attempt to make the international community understand the unsuspecting role it may play in the growth of Islamic extremism, as a result of political and economic instability.
Outline:
Introduction
About the Arab League
Yemen Itself
Yemen, Terrorism and the Arab League Today
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The role of the Arab League, as the most intimate of political lobbies in Yemen is recognized as a crucial and integral organization in the process of understanding with regard to this principle and has been essential in an international understanding of the situation, from its roots in colonization to its current dire need for collective and enduring security, beginning with economic security. In fact the overarching responsibility and goal of the organization is to provide an opportunity for peaceful resolution of conflict between Arab nations and with other outside interests. As a part of this overarching responsibility the Arab League frequently councils nations with regard to the manner in which they can combat terrorism beginning with the counseling of such nations about making and keeping unilateral political affirmations regarding the elimination of tolerance of terrorist support and safe harbor."

Negro League Baseball in Virginia, 2004.
An analysis of Negro League Baseball in Tidewater, Virginia.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the racial situation in Tidewater, Virginia, through a discussion of the Negro League Baseball. The paper describes this team as, like all the black teams, a reflection of black life in the United States. The separate but unequal status they enjoyed appeared as a ghost of the white teams. The paper explores the financial challenges that faced the league, claiming them to be no different than those of other black enterprises, from stage entertainment to boxing. The financial challenges, arguably more than skin color, are what kept them in the background, shadowing the growth of the American ball club. Like a shadow on a wall, Negro League Baseball in Virginia, as everywhere else, would disappear when the bright light of national fame finally shone on one of its members, Jackie Robinson.
From the Paper
"A report in the Norfolk Journal and Guide in 1917 paints a picture of racial harmony in Tidewater, Virginia, that would almost make one wonder why there needed to be Negro League Baseball. The banner headlines almost said it all: "Big Labor Day Celebration," "Thousands of White and Colored Laborers Paraded Streets of City." "Harmony Between Races" As that report told it, the celebration was a landmark of many sorts. In a relatively lengthy preface to the description of the baseball game that was the culmination of the day, it noted that "If carrying the stars and stripes is a demonstrative evidence of patriotism and loyalty to the United States, the Norfolk colored labor organizations can be styled as true friends to their country. The organizations were out very strong on Labor day [sic]. Several thousands together with the white Labor unions marched the streets of Norfolk in celebration of the day designated as their day throughout the country.""

Major League Baseball, 2009.
Looks at the history of the antitrust exemption granted by Congress to major league baseball (MLB).

Abstract
This paper explains that, even though it has obvious characteristics that would characterize another industry as a monopoly, the U.S. Congress has granted major league baseball (MLB) an antitrust exemption. However, there have been challenges to this MLB exemption that would open the baseball industry to greater competition. The author examines the standing reasoning behind this antitrust exemption, analyzes some of the major challenges to the exemption and discusses the overall implications and ramifications for this industry and any industry. In conclusion, the paper points out that other sports have persisted despite not having antitrust exemptions, so there is little reason to expect that baseball could not adapt as well.
Table of Contents:
Major League Baseball's Status
Challenges to the Antitrust Exemption
Industry Ramifications and Conclusions
From the Paper
"In 1953, the Supreme Court was granted a chance to correct the anomalous decision that was made in 1922 that granted baseball exemption from antitrust suits. The case was Toolson vs. The New York Yankees. In the case, George Toolson was reassigned from a minor league team to another team. The reserve clause, still in effect at that time, was used by the league as the means to forcibly transfer Toolson. Toolson, apparently, did not want to make the move. He believed that the reserve clause interfered with his ability to manage his own career, a point that was not incorrect."
