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.

denis-greek [22]

The exchange that most affected the indigenous people was the one of diseases. Native Americans hadn't encounter the diseases the European brought before, so they hadn't develop immunity to them. This is the major reason of the large death of Native Americans, besides the war between them and the brutality of the Europeans.

What does authoritarian mean?
yan [13]

The term authoritarian is defined as the enforcing or favoring strict obedience to authority with the personal freedom being at expanse.

This term can be used for people that do have high authority, be it in the politics, economy, military...

Usually, something that is ruled by a person that is authoritarian ends up badly for everyone, as most of the people that are bellow that person in the hierarchy suffer, and eventually they get sick of it and take down that person.

Usually the term is used for leaders of countries in more recent times, where we have leaders that have absolute power in their countries, everyone has to obey them, and they rule with iron fist. Some examples of the near past are Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Tito, Castro, while from the present day its Kim Jong Un, Berdimuhamedow, Myint...

The authoritarians come in the form of dictator, tyrant, despot, absolutist, autocrat.
