Revision for memory test on the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations.
DUE FRIDAY.

30. This man was an idealist and wanted to be remembered as a peacemaker.
Woodrow Wilson
This man was an idealist and wanted to be remembered as a peacemaker.
The League of Nations had been his idea.
Yet when it was set up, the USA did not join.
Why?
Answer: Wilson could not convince enough of the American people, specifically the Senate, that it was a good idea. Americans were keen to distance themselves from Europe after so many had been killed in WW1.
