Would the world look different if we adopted Truman's League of Nations instead of the UN? If how so?

    Only one response though kind of looking for a historian . But no explanation on that post.

      I mean history speaks for itself - League of Nations collapsed and was supplanted by the just as shitty and corrupt UN.

  It would probs fall apart pretty quickly.

  From memory the League of Nations fell apart coz every country was considered equal and decisions needed a 100% unanimous vote - which led to super powers leaving coz any country big or small could just veto them. Plus im pretty sure anyone could leave at any time.

  I know the UN favours super powers but has stricter rules about leaving, but how do you come up with a system where all countries are treated equal while keeping super powers at the table whenever something doesnt go their way?

  Honestly i think it would play out something like… America wanting something (like allowing certain countries to freely use and develop AI algorithms) and a small country like Nauru voting against it and then America just walking out.

  Or countries like China and Russia forming their own version of a UN and other countries eventually join for stability.
