Detailed explanation-1: -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. They have made the French treaty subject to the authority of the League, which is not to be tolerated.
Detailed explanation-2: -While the Treaty of Versailles did not satisfy all parties concerned, by the time President Woodrow Wilson returned to the United States in July 1919, U.S. public opinion overwhelmingly favored ratification of the Treaty, including the Covenant of the League of Nations.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the Treaty of Versailles affect the United States’ participation on the world stage?-The United States led the negotiations on the treaty, going on to become one of the leaders of the League of Nations Security Council.
