How did Canada come to be a founding member of the League of Nations?

Question

I need to know how Canada came to be one of the founding members of the league of nations and what were the Government's first actions as founding members. Please and thank you.

Answer 1

well Canada became a founding member because the original founding member's congress (US,14 points included this) did not pass the treaty of Versailles

Answer 2

As the League of Nations came out of the Treaty of Versailles, the nations who were on the winning side of the First World War became the first nations to join the organization; the exception was the United States, as the Senate refused to ratify the treaty.

Germany was forbidden to join the League and the new Soviet Union was also excluded, as they made a separate peace with Germany in 1917.

The same thing happened when the Allied nations signed the United Nations charter during the Second World War.  Canada became a charter member of that organization also.  However, only one person was a signatory of both the League of Nations and United Nations charters: Jan Smuts of South Africa.
