Question

Select all of the actions taken by the United States following the rejection of the Treaty of Versailles.

Answer 1

The US rejection of the Treaty of Versailles was due to objections to the League of Nations. The Senate did not approve neither the terms of the Treaty nor the idea of joining the League of Nations. Although the American President Wilson proposed the Fourteen Points and the creation of an international body to maintain the world peace and avoid international conflicts which would lead to the outbreak of a war, the US Senate Majority opposed the Treaty arguing that under the League of Nations, President Wilson would have too much power. Besides, by agreeing the terms of the Treaty, the US policy of isolationism would be destroyed by the possible alliances with other nations.
