Before and After

The U.S. Reaction to Wilson’s Plan vs. Lodge thought the League would draw America in to more wars… permanent alliance Woodrow Wilson (Gave up the rest of his 14 points in order to keep the League of Nations) Henry Cabot Lodge (Senator AGAINST the League of Nations)

To Join the League or Not to Join the League? European Allies furious with Germany after WWI and wanted to punish Germany for damage they caused. President Wilson thought the treaty should lay the groundwork to “end all wars”– didn’t want to punish Germany too harshly. Wilson drafted his 14 points and brought it to Paris to the Treaty meeting. His 14th “Point” was the League of Nations- an international governing body that would try to resolve international differences and support democratic nations. European nations rejected almost all of Wilson’s ideas- but they agreed to set up the League of Nations– this becomes part of the Treaty of Versailles. When Wilson returns to the U.S. after the Treaty meeting and tries to get Congress to ratify the treaty, they refuse- mostly because they oppose the League of Nations.

What do you think were the weaknesses of the treaty? Return Land Limit on Troops Countries Involved? War Guilt Clause Reparations
