             The Hague Conferences in 1899 and 1907 were the origins of the League of Nations and later the United Nations. The Hague Conferences were the first to introduce an accord specifying peaceful means to soothe disputes and the establishment of a Permanent Court of Arbitration. The creation of the League of Nations began after the First World War (1915), then United States President Woodrow Wilson welcomed the idea of a general association of nations. President Wilson saw this new "League" as a positive method of implementing collective protection of all nations involved. The "New League" Platform was criticized by all participating nations, the Americans and British wanted the new League to be a force to encourage change, the smaller states involved were antagonistic due to the minimal power they would receive, the French wanted more emphasis with regards to keeping Germany from regaining any type of military power.
