Answer 1

The motivations for the creation of the League of Nations primarily include:

1. The devastation of World War I: The horrific destruction and loss of life during the war highlighted the need for an international organization to promote peace and prevent future conflicts.

2. The U.S. failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles: While the U.S. did not join the League, its initial support for the League was tied to the Treaty of Versailles, which aimed to establish a framework for international governance and security post-war. The absence of the U.S. ultimately affected the League's effectiveness.

Thus, the two correct responses that motivated the creation of the League of Nations are "The devastation of World War I" and "The U.S. failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles."
