Achievements of the League:  

In  1920,  a  dispute  arose between Sweden and  Finland  over the sovereignty  of the Aaland  Islands.    These islands  are  situated between  Finland’s  west  coast and Sweden’s east coast. The League ruled that the islands should go to Finland. 

In  the following  year,  the League  was  asked  to settle the frontier between Poland and Germany in Upper Silesia. It was successfully resolved by the League.
