Which of the following statements about the United States’ relationship with supranational organizations is NOT correct?
  1. At the end of World War I, the United States joined the League of Nations.
  2. At the end of World War II, the United Nations replaced the League of Nations.
  3. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson won a Nobel Prize for creating the League of Nations.
  4. The United Nations fought the Axis Powers during World War II.
Explanation
Answer: A - Though Woodrow Wilson was the primary creator of the League of Nations, the U.S. Congress refused to join the supranational organization at the end of World War I on the grounds that the organization’s charter would require the United States to commit economic or military support to engagements even if it did not support the League’s undertaking. Congress’ opposition to Wilson was partly political, but the League proved to be an ineffective organization nonetheless. WWII proved that the League failed to maintain international peace. The United Nations-the official name for the Allied Powers during WWII-formed a new supranational organization at the end of the Second World War
