In what year did Woodrow Wilson first propose the League of Nations?

• A. 1918
• B. 1919
• C. 1920
• D. 1921

Answer: (A)

The question tests when the idea of a League of Nations was first publicly put forward. Woodrow Wilson introduced the concept in his Fourteen Points, which were published in January 1918. This marks the initial proposal of a League to ensure world peace, making 1918 the correct year. Later milestones—like the Covenant being drafted for the Versailles Treaty in 1919 and the League actually beginning operations in 1920—followed the original proposal. So 1918 is the year the idea was first proposed.
