The U.S. won World War I and set up the League of Nations to decide on what to do with Germany and Italy. The Treaty of Versailles was also signed that set limits on the future of Germany. America did not sign due to unrest at home. Actually- The League of Nations was a condition contained within the treaty of Versailles. Because of a lack of support in Congress, the United States never signed this document and therefore never entered this collaboration between nations. Due to the United States' lack of participation, the League of Nations was not long lived, and not until the creation of the United Nation (WWII) did the United States become involved in an international coalition such as this.

Religion played a decisive role in both governments of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
In Ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was believed to have descended from the realm of the Gods. His role was that of an intermediary between them and the people of the empire. His obligation was to sustain rituals for the gods in order to maintain an order in the universe. Massive amounts of resources were also assigned to the creation of temples where these rituals were held.
In Mesopotamia, the King was considered as a religious leader. He exercised the cult with the help of specialists whose task was to serve as an intermediary between men and the gods. These group of specialists included a "supervising" priest for purification against demons, priests for the purification of the temple, and priests for appeasing the anger of the gods and its subsequent wrath.

Also, Van Buren worried that Mexico would declare war if Texas was taken from them.
