国际联盟（League of Nations，简称国联）是第一次世界大战后组成的国际组织，宗旨是减少武器数目、平息国际纠纷及维持民众的生活水平。但国联却不能有效阻止法西斯的侵略行为。第二次世界大战后被联合国取代。
The League of Nations was an international organization founded after the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. The League's goals included disarmament; preventing war through collective security; settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy; and improving global welfare. The diplomatic philosophy behind the League represented a fundamental shift in thought from the preceding hundred years. The old philosophy, growing out of the Congress of Vienna (1815), saw Europe as a shifting map of alliances among nation-states, creating a balance of power in international relations maintained by strong armies and secret agreements. Under the new philosophy, the League was a government of governments, with the role of settling disputes between individual nations in an open and legalist forum. The impetus for the founding of the League came from Democratic U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, though the United States never joined the League of Nations due to Congress in America barring the country from being part of the League: they felt that America had already had too much involvement in Europe's affairs and did not want to be a part of Europe's international disputes any more. This sentiment was largely shared by the people of America, despite Woodrow Wilson's keen desire to be a part of the League of Nations.
