Wilson’s Lack of Support The USA became isolationist after the war. The US Senate disagreed with the League of Nations because they thought that by becoming a member they would lose their independence and get drawn into international disputes. The Senate also felt that Wilson was partisan (favoring one political party) and they disliked him.

Wilson toured the USA to “sell” the treaty. . .
