Although United States President Woodrow Wilson at first was a supporter of the creation of the League of Nations, in the end, accepted the idea of not participating in the League because the federal government believed that a neutral position was the best for America. They wanted to remain neutral as part of its foreign policy. The League of Nations was formed with European Countries and was the first step to later form the United Nations (UN).
