“This is not a peace; it is an armistice for 20 years.” French ex-WWI General and Politician Marshal Foch

Wilson's fight for the League of Nations  Epitomizes his character - idealistic, yet extremely stubborn.  Angered Republicans by not taking any Republican Senators to Paris

Henry Cabot Lodge Chairman—Senate Foreign Relations Committee

“The United States assumes no obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other country or to interfere in controversies between nations - whether members of the league or not - under the provisions in Article 10, or to employ the military or naval forces of the United States under any article of the treaty for any purpose, unless in any particular case the Congress, which, under the Constitution, has the sole power to declare war or authorize the employment of the military or naval forces of the United States, shall by act or joint resolution so provide.” Senator Henry Cabot Lodge's reservation to Article X.

The Wilson Trip

The Taft Compromise The Taft Compromise

RESULTS:  Neither Wilson, nor Senator Henry Cabot Lodge would relent or compromise.  The Senate voted down the Treaty of Versailles.  United States never joined the League that Wilson dreamed about.  Despite being the strongest nation in the world, the United States retreats into Isolationism.  The League of Nations never has true strength.
