In 1919 Wilson wanted the USA to take the lead in a League of Nations. He had many enemies that brought him down. The isolationists in the USA won. The USA turned its back to Europe. President, Warren Harding, promised a return to “normalcy”.
How successful were the Labour reforms of 1945-51 in meeting the needs of the British people? Throughout World War II, Britain was run by a government formed from a coalition of Labour, Conservative and Liberal politicians. During the war, the government became much more involved in people's lives. As part of the war effort, the government organised the rationing of food, clothing, and fuel. Most people were pleased with the government's intervention intervention and wanted it to go further.
The Defeat of the Treaty of Versailles It was not the power of the opposition forces, liberal or conservative, of the U.S. that led to the final defeat of the Treaty of Versailles, but rather the political ignorance, inability and inflexibility of the President, Woodrow Wilson. With the surrender of Germany after WW1, it presented many different ways to create peace. Wilson in 1918 offered his plans for peace in the "Fourteen Points", the most important of which he believed was Article X, the League of Nations. One year later, Wilson led the Paris Peace Conference at Versailles to reach an international pact that included the points. However, the U.S. was never to sign the treaty or join the League of Nations Woodrow Wilson's ideas for peace were well rooted in thought, but in politically applying his ideas, he made unchangeable mistakes.
In 1912 Woodrow Wilson was elected President of the United States. Wilson, in his first term, had successfully kept Americans troops out of World War I. This was difficult at the time because almost all powerful countries were starting to pick sides. However eventually American involvement became necessary later on in the war as the powerful countries of Europe faced off in 1914 in what was to be four years of horrific war. During these first four years, America managed to mind its own business and really avoid much if any conflict at all, however, in the latter part of it America played a key role in really demolishing all hope that Germany had left by defeating them.

Isolationism , the made idea in the early 1920’s was changed after the course of World War 2, and urge to engage in world affairs made America the leading power in the world. America was beginning to get through World War 1 and trying to establish better relations with world powers but their differences led America into changing its foreign policies politically. Although most of the countries joined the League of Nations, America had from the start opposed it. As president Harding says in a speech at Des Moines, Iowa on October 1920 that he completely opposes America Joining the League because it is against the constitution and what Americans had fought for. Isolationism is still the idea in Washington.
Ben Musicant Hist-306 Why did the United States fail to sign the Treaty of Versailles? When the Great World War ended in 1918, it was thought to be "The war to end all wars". Toward that end, the treaty of Versailles, which officially ended the war, was hoped to be the treaty to end all war. The Treaty not only set the rules and conditions for the cessation of hostilities, but it created a new, world-governing body, constituted by all of the nations of the world, where international disputes were to be resolved peacefully. American President Woodrow Wilson was one of the primary creators of this new "League of Nations" and so was anxious for the United States Congress to ratify the Treaty of Versailles and thus enter the country into the
The ending of World War One was such an event that gave a feeling of great relief over the countries of Europe. The population of Europe were at rest after so many years of fear and extreme hardship. However following these emotions of happiness, soon anger was expressed towards the countries which were seen as responsible for starting the Great War. The Paris Peace conference was an event which took place in the palace of Versailles. The conference was held over 12 months, 1919-1920, and intended to solve the disputes throughout Europe and relieve some of the anger.
In contrast, during World War II the war was started because Germany was upset with the Treaty of Versailles, the treaty that ended World War I, not because of their commitment to their allies. Some people might argue that World War II was also started because of allies since Germany and Italy were allies but during the War these two countries acted in their own interest more then they did in World War I. When the World War I started the countries of Europe were eager to go to war because there wasn’t a war in Europe for quite along time. The men had a romanticized view of the way war was fought. They thought they were going to put on their uniforms and the girls would love them.
He did support some of the countries in Europe, but without sending them any army reinforcements and war supplies. Germany started to sink American merchant ships and killed hundreds of American civilians. After about dozen of American ships were sank, Wilson had no chance but to declare war on Germany. Immediately after the war ended, he made the Fourteen Points, which would make the Great War the last one ever. Today’s United Nations is based on some of Wilson’s ideas like the League of Nations, which was included in his Fourteen Points.
