The League of Nations is the predecessor to the United Nations. It was infamous for being a huge failure in stopping World War 2. The UN is somewhat more successful, but is that due to its different bindings? What if the League of Nations had the same exact stipulations that the UN had? What if also the International Criminal Court was established after WW1 with modern war crime treaties as criminal offenses?
One major difference between the League of Nations and the United Nations is the security council. The security council is effectively an international peacekeeping force that protects civilians, establishes safe zones, and punishes rogue actors if possible. There are 10 temporary members and 5 permanent members of the security council. In 1920, I'm not sure who will be the 5 permanent members. I doubt the Soviet Union will be established as one and China in 1920 was a divided patchwork of warlord cliques. I could see USA, UK, France, Japan, & maybe Argentina being the 5 permanent security council members. Security council members have the power to veto any United Nations action.
The International Criminal Court can get to work prosecuting the orchestrators of the Greek genocide and Armenian genocide in West Asia.
