Question

What was a major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles?

Answer 1

The major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles is they objected to the League of Nations, fearing that it would supersede U.S. authority.

Explanation:

"Treaty of Versailles" was signed on 28th June 1919 between Germany and Allied powers to end the war. Treaty of Versailles is the most important agreement that brought World War 1 to end.

Treaty of Versailles failed, as the Allies disagreed to better treat Germany and on the other hand Germany refused to accept the terms of reparations.

U.S. Senate thought that League of Nations would supersede U.S. authority. This led to failure in ratifying Treaty of Versailles.
