Evolution of International Organizations
- First international organizations emerged in the 19th century, mainly focused on technical cooperation like navigation and trade
- The Congress of Vienna in 1815 created a more favorable environment for international cooperation, leading to the establishment of organizations like the "Central Commission" for Rhine navigation

- The League of Nations, however, was unsuccessful in preventing World War II
Globalization and its Impact on International Organizations
