Which international organization was created as a result of the Versailles settlement to prevent future wars?

• A. NATO
• B. SEATO
• C. League of Nations
• D. United Nations

Answer: (C)

After World War I, leaders wanted a structured way to prevent another global conflict. The Versailles settlement included the Covenant of the League of Nations, creating an international body whose purpose was to promote diplomacy, settle disputes by arbitration, and rely on collective security to deter aggression. This was the first major attempt to keep the peace through an organized, cooperative system tied directly to the postwar settlement. The other options came from different eras: NATO and SEATO were Cold War-era defense alliances, and the United Nations was established during World War II to address broader security challenges and eventually different lessons from the League. So the organization created as a result of the Versailles settlement to prevent future wars is the League of Nations.
