Detailed explanation-1: -Most important for Wilson, the League would guarantee the territorial integrity and political independence of member states, authorize the League to take “any action…to safeguard the peace, ” establish procedures for arbitration, and create the mechanisms for economic and military sanctions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The League of Nations was formed to prevent a repetition of the First World War, but within two decades this effort failed. Economic depression, renewed nationalism, weakened successor states, and feelings of humiliation (particularly in Germany) eventually contributed to World War II.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the League of Nations convinced America of the number of military powers and won’t be dominated by few countries then the Second World War could be avoided.

Although US President Woodrow Wilson was an enthusiastic proponent of the League, the United States did not officially join the League of Nations due to opposition from isolationists in Congress.
