Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: League of Nations
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Many verbal analogy items use historical pairings. The United Nations (UN) was established in 1945 after World War II to promote international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. A parallel, earlier body was formed after World War I to pursue similar aims in a different structure and time.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
The intended mapping is “major global conflict : international organization created thereafter.” After World War I, the League of Nations was established (Covenant attached to the Treaty of Versailles, 1919) as the first global intergovernmental organization focused on collective security and diplomacy.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify the second world war’s outcome: United Nations.2) Identify the first world war’s outcome: League of Nations.3) Select the precise organizational name, not a treaty.
Verification / Alternative check:
The League of Nations began operations in 1920 and functioned until it was replaced by the UN after WWII, confirming the symmetry with the prompt’s structure.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing organizations with treaties or courts; the analogy specifically calls for an organizational parallel to the UN.

League of Nations
