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.

Summarize why the U.S. was afraid of invading mainland Japan.
kvv77 [185]

Answer: Would have led to more loss of life.

Explanation:

President Truman believed that dropping the atomic bombs saved both American and Japanese lives because a battle on mainland Japan would have been devastating.

He is supported in this stance by the fierce resistance of the Japanese on islands closer to the mainland such as Okinawa. With over a million more Japanese soldiers waiting on the mainland as well as thousands of Kamikaze pilots, resistance on the Japanese mainland was going to be very brutal and would potentially have cost millions of lives, both civilian and military.

Truman therefore believed that dropping the atomic bombs would cause the Japanese to surrender and save both nations the massive loss of life.
