      I mean history speaks for itself - League of Nations collapsed and was supplanted by the just as shitty and corrupt UN.

      I’d look for some history courses from The Teaching Company/The Great Courses or Wondrium on the 20th century. LoN/UN are direct results of the 19th and 20th century political landscape - understanding that history is crucial to comparing the two.

      (I’ll admit my criticism of both is pretty harsh, there’s simply no way to have an ideal council of nations, it’s an effort to find some level of cooperation, and that’s always a major compromise).
