Answer

Exam answer

(d) Formation of the League of Nations.

Explanation

The League of Nations was formed in 1920, AFTER the FIRST World War, and it had already collapsed by the time the Second began — so it cannot be a consequence of the Second. The other three all followed 1945: the Axis powers were defeated, the United Nations was founded in October 1945, and the rivalry between the USA and the USSR hardened into the Cold War.

The pairing to fix: First World War → League of Nations; Second World War → United Nations.

In words

Formation of the League of Nations.
