The Rejection of Internationalism

The Treaty of Versailles June 28, 1919

The League of Nations Wilson’s Baby

Ratifying Treaties “[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur....” -- Article II, Section 2

The Senate vote necessary to ratify a treaty 2/3 The Senate vote necessary to ratify a treaty

The number of senators included in Wilson’s peace delegation to Europe.

The U.S. Senate 1910-1920 Republican Majority

The League of Nations An Entangling Alliance???

Article X of the League Covenant The Members of the League undertake to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all Members of the League. In case of any such aggression or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression the Council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.

Three Views of the Treaty Internationalists Ratify the Treaty AS IS Reservationists Ratify the Treaty with Reservations Irreconcilables DON’T RATIFY the Treaty

SOVEREIGNTY

Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge (R-MA) Lodge Reservations 14 Stipulations View Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge (R-MA)

Wilson’s Dilemma Compromise with Reservationists or stand his ground?

EUROPE TO US: Reservations OK!

“The Senate must take its medicine.” -- Woodrow Wilson

NO COMPROMISE

BIGGER Republican Majority A “Solemn Referendum” 1920 BIGGER Republican Majority

The United States never joined the League. Wilson’s mission to intimately involve the U.S. in global affairs was a failure.

Warren G. Harding (R-OH) 29th POTUS 1921-1923 MORE INFO

Return to Normalcy

Americanism Call it the selfishness of nationality if you will. I think it's an inspiration to patriotic devotion to safeguard America first, to stabilize America first, to prosper America first, to think of America first. -- Warren G. Harding Campaign Speech (1920)

MYTH U.S. foreign policy was isolationist during the 1920s.

The Isolationism Myth “If you study the '20s... there was an American-first policy that said, 'Who cares what happens in Europe?’” -- George W. Bush

Isolationism -- Calvin Coolidge “It will be well not to be too much disturbed by the thought of either isolation or entanglement of pacifists and militarists. The physical configuration of the earth has separated us from all of the Old World, but the common brotherhood of man… has united us by inseparable bonds with all humanity.” -- Calvin Coolidge Inaugural Address (1925)
