Yet despite being an avowed pacifist (Merrill and Paterson 49), Wilson is perhaps best known for his role in bringing America into World War I. After the war, he attempted to capitalize upon global momentum for reform by advocating American entry into the League of Nations. But Wilson faced a great deal of domestic opposition to this…

America is known for being a country of freedom and opportunity. So when the question of joining or not joining the League of Nations was brought upon the American government, many saw it as keeping or losing the power to decide what the United States intervenes in. The argument about joining or not joining the League of Nations, came down to personal vendettas and small details.

On the back of the Fourteen Points, Germany and allies agreed to an armistice in November 1918. Failure to adhere to Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points possibly triggered World War II. The Treaty of Versailles indicated: 1) that Germany had to accept blame ‘for all the loss and damage’ of the war, 2) the Germans were allowed no…

The failure of the United States in the Paris Peace Treaty meeting, and the absence of its support in the League of Nations definitely hindered the recovery from World War 1 and weakened the United Sates influence on post events. Whether or not President Woodrow Wilson is at fault has been debated since the events of the First World War.
