10 January 1920: The Treaty of Versailles came into effect—Part I, the Covenant of the League of Nations, formally established the League of Nations/Société des Nations with forty-two member states; the four permanent members of the League Council—France, Great Britain, Italy, & Japan—first met in Paris (16 January); the Assembly of all member states would first convene in November.
Lest we forget.
