Question

This sounds like a really cool topic, and though I'd love to help, it's best to see what YOU come up with (rather than somebody else). That's what learning's about. It also doesn't get messy with plagiarism.

What we can do, however, is give you resources with which you can begin.

- Research what Kant thought of a League of Nations, and why; if this is a high-school essay, your teacher will be really impressed!
- Main themes might include isolationism, the balance of world power, and what the effect on the next 25 years joining would have.
- What was the prevailing sentiment towards international relations during the post-WWI period? Were Americans (especially the President) optimistic or pessimistic?

Hope it goes well!
