On November 10th 1920 The General Assembly of The League of Nations met in Geneva for the first time. The League of Nations did not succeed in stopping the big obstacles to peace which took place in the early 1930s. It was powerless to the face of the second war. The overall point was firmly embedded on January 1st 1942. The President of The United States, Roosevelt announced the term United Nations. I think this event was important because it was created to prevent war. -

On September 15th Hitler approved the laws. Hitler personally deprived Jews of German Citizenship. This prohibited Jewish households from being able to have German maids younger than 45 years old.
