Answer: The US Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles (which included commitment to the League of Nations), fearing it would compromise US sovereignty and could obligate the US to fight in future wars.

Details:

An organization such as the League of Nations was the signature idea of US President Woodrow Wilson.  He had laid out 14 Points for establishing and maintaining world peace following the Great War (World War I).  Point #14 was the establishment of an international peacekeeping association.

The Treaty of Versailles adopted that idea, but back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security. Because of its objections to membership in the League of Nations, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.

The majority leader of Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, argued that the commitment to the League of Nations (a part of the Treaty of Versailles) could take away US Congress' constitutional right to declare war and obligate them to military actions initiated by the League of Nations.

Giving brainliest write a paragraph about the Emancipation Proclamation
blondinia [14]

The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves living in ten states that were still in rebellion. Slaves that were already in a state that was taken over before the EP were not freed. At the same time, all those freed slaves were enlisted in the Union Army. As a result, after some time black slaves and white citizens of the USA fought together against one enemy. No doubt, the Civil War united black and white people as well as reduced tensions existing among them. The majority of freed black slaves fought rather valiantly and earned the respect of whites. This promoted equality and eradicated some racial prejudices in the society.

The tula warrior columns (4.7.9) were made by the toltec people of mexico, a civilization which came after the aztecs.
Sergio039 [100]

False

The Toltec Empire existed from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The Aztecs existed from 14th to the 16th centuries.

It is believed by historians that the Aztec Empire was built off of the remains of the Toltec Empire. Evidence of the empire was found in Aztec religion, images, and ritual. The site of Tula has also provided evidence connecting the two civilizations. Both were located in the central parts of Mexico with the Aztecs expanding beyond the central region to the coast.
