Detailed explanation-1: -The Senate has, at times, rejected treaties when its members felt their concerns were not adequately addressed. In 1919 the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I, in part because President Woodrow Wilson had failed to take senators’ objections to the agreement into consideration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Its failure to ratify the Versailles Treaty meant that the United States needed to make its own separate peace treaties with the former Central Powers and their successor states.
Detailed explanation-3: -The largest obstacle faced in the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles was the opposition of House Republicans because Wilson kept the leaders of the Republican-led Congress in the dark during treaty talks in Europe, and refused to support the treaty with any of the alterations proposed by the United States Senate.
Detailed explanation-4: -The terms of the treaty required that Germany pay financial reparations, disarm, lose territory, and give up all of its overseas colonies. It also called for the creation of the League of Nations, an institution that President Woodrow Wilson strongly supported and had originally outlined in his Fourteen Points address.
