Latin America and the League of Nations

Okay, so there is a group of countries in the world called Latin America, and they wanted to join a club called the League of Nations.

This club is a group of countries that promise to be friends with each other and try to solve problems without fighting. It’s like when you and your friends promise to be nice to each other and share your toys.

Latin America wanted to join this club because they also want to be friends with other countries and work together to solve problems. But some problems came up.

You see, some of the big and powerful countries in the club didn’t want Latin America to join because they thought they weren’t important enough. It’s like when some kids don’t want you to play with them because they think you’re not cool enough.

But Latin America didn’t give up. They talked to other countries in the club who supported them, and they finally got to join!

Now, Latin America can work with other countries in the club to solve problems like making sure everyone has enough food, helping people who are sick, and making sure everyone is treated fairly.
