    In 1920, the League of Nations held a conference on passports, the Paris Conference on Passports & Customs Formalities and Through Tickets.[18] Passport guidelines and a general booklet design resulted from the conference,[19] which was followed up by conferences in 1926 and 1927.[20] The League of Nations issued Nansen passports to stateless refugees from 1922 to 1938.[21]

    Weird, I didn’t realize the Nazis ran the entire League of Nations the very same year they were established and long before they ran Germany. That’s quite the unusual rise to power.
