You didn't provide choices, but the main reason for refusing entry into the League of Nations was the belief that doing so meant giving up some of the United States' own sovereignty and could commit the US to defend other nations' security rather than its own.

Context/detail:

The United States never joined the League of Nations, in spite of the fact that 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.

<span>Rather than allow senators to accompany him to Paris for treaty negotiations following World War I, President Wilson insisted upon having exclusive control over the terms of the treaty. Congress was dissatisfied, however, particularly with an article that would require members of the League to defend one another in the event that one was attacked. Lodge and Wilson had been engaged in a power struggle brought about as the result of each thinking himself intellectually and professionally superior to the other. Since Senator Lodge was both the Senate Majority Leader and the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Wilson needed his support in order for the treaty to be passed. Instead of seeking support, however, Wilson spoke negatively of Lodge. This angered supporters of Lodge. As a result, by the time the treaty reached the floor of the Senate for a vote, 14 reservations had been attached to it. The rejection of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations was the first time the U.S. Congress rejected a treaty.</span>

Which political economic system do you think is the best balance of freedom and equality? Why?
AveGali [126]
Whilst Liberalism is founded on ideas of freedom, equality and liberty. Social Democracy is the best balance of freedom and equality because it promotes social justice in a capitalist economy and a liberal democratic view. Also, communism has, historically, a poor reputation for freedom and equality. For example, China and North Korea are current communist countries and Russia previously was a communist country after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.

Which two examples of modern military technology had the greatest impact on the course of World War I?
Dahasolnce [82]

Technology during World War I (1914-1918) reflected a trend toward industrialism and the application of mass-productionmethods to weapons and to the technology of warfare in general. This trend began at least fifty years prior to World War Iduring the American Civil War of 1861-1865,[1] and continued through many smaller conflicts in which soldiers and strategists tested new weapons.

One could characterize the earlier years of the First World War as a clash of 20th-century technology with 19th-century warfare in the form of ineffective battles with huge numbers of casualties on both sides. On land, only in the final year of the war did the major armies made effective steps in revolutionizing matters of command and control and tactics to adapt to the modern battlefield and start to harness the myriad new technologies to effective military purposes. Tactical reorganizations (such as shifting the focus of command from the 100+ man company to the 10+ man squad) went hand-in-hand with armored cars, the first submachine guns, and automatic rifles that a single individual soldier could carry and use.
