Question 12

Taking all things into consideration, which of the following is the most important reason for the Senate's defeat of the Treaty of Versailles and United States membership in the League of Nations?

Accepted Answer

The traditional American belief in nonalignment and freedom of choice in international affairs was a primary reason for the Senate's defeat of the Treaty of Versailles and US membership in the League of Nations. Many Americans were opposed to joining the League of Nations and saw it as a threat to American sovereignty and independence in foreign policy decision-making. Wilson's stroke and incapacitation did hinder his ability to lobby for the treaty, but it was not the most important reason for its defeat. While Wilson's refusal to compromise with his opponents in the Senate certainly did not help his cause, it was not the most critical factor either. The personal feud between Wilson and Senator Lodge also played a role, but again, it was not the primary reason for the treaty's failure to pass.
