397 Words2 Pages

The decision made by America to not ratify the Treaty of Versailles was the right decision. At the time America was seen, and still is, a great world power. America saw the treaty was full of flaws and did the right thing in choosing not to ratify it. During this time America had built itself up to be the world’s strongest military. One of the points in the treaty was the League of Nations. Because of that point, American senators were iffy about ratifying the treaty. They saw the League of Nations as a trap.

    totally made the correct decision when it joined the war in 1917. The U.S. needed to join because they were still being disrespected by countries across the world and I don’t think the world truly knew America’s strength until after World War I. Additionally, the U.S. had suffered many lives lost with Germany’s naval policies and they saw a potential world power imbalance if Germany were to win. With all the money invested into the Allies, the United States would have incurred a worsened Great Depression than what the country saw in the 1930s. Also, the League of Nations was started and if it wasn’t for the League of Nations laying the groundwork for other worldwide collaboration organizations then the world would be in chaos and we would have had more world wars after World War II.

    This means that despite the impacts of the war, many in America still believed that America’s role (and the best way to achieve its interests) was by leaving other nations alone. This is because the war was extremely unpopular. Many Americans did not trust that President Wilson campaigned for reelection on a platform of anti-war, but then got the United States involved. They also distrusted that he had promised a just peace in his fourteen point plan, but ended up with secret land deals and a punishing Treaty of Versailles, as opposed to a rehabilitory treaty. As a result, the irreconcilables in Congress voted multiple times to strike down the League of Nations.

    Plan of investigation: In the year of 1919 the League of Nations was formed, the main focus point and reason for its existence was to start an alliance between multiple countries in high hopes of preventing a second World War.

The sole purpose of this investigation is to determine whether the League of Nations was effective to its full intent, also to clarify why it is that it discontinued full effect in the year of 1936. In order to complete such task and fully answer the question at hand I used several sources such as the book
