Thus, it is the sense of internationalism which was virtually non-existent prior to 1919 that is taken for granted in the modern world, as it remains the underlying principle of existing legal and political systems for many countries and the source of international cooperation. Therefore, it can be seen that through the analysis of a variety of factors the League of Nations can be assessed in its effectiveness in achieving its predestined objectives of international peacekeeping and disarmament. In one sense, the League is viewed by historians in its failure to reach a stage of global peace, as a result of ineffective resolution of disputes including Manchuria, Abyssinia and the Rhineland, poor management of the League through ambiguous authority defined in the Covenant and a lack of motivated involvement from countries within or outside of the League. Alternatively, one must acknowledge these flaws and recognise its various successes which cannot be underestimated in their significance. Despite its limitations, the League effectively resolved some disputes and generated a sense of internationalism which paved the way for the UN in shaping a better modern world, through the ongoing work of various agencies that were developed including the Permanent International Court of Justice, International Labour Organisation and World Health Organisation. Thus, it is this foundation of cooperation between nations which the League has helped to establish, that prevails as the answer to any question of dispute in contemporary society which threatens to disturb international peace and order.>
