Treaty of Versailles- War Guilt Clause was saying that someone need to accept responsibilty for the war which they decided was Germany even though they didnt actually start it. League of Nations set up to keep world peace which Wilson really wanted however we never joined. GB, France Italy US and Japan were the 5 permanent members in theory, 4 nonpermanent that would rotate, countries submit problems with other countries to the league, they make a settlement, both countries have to agree, if they dont accept then economic sanctions can occur where you wont trade with those countries, didnt seem to have success, France wanted international army but US and GB didnt because they thought theyd always be at war, Germany and Soviet Union werent allowed to join right away, US never joined
Why US never ratified the Treaty of Versailles- the senate didnt pass it because republican senators thought it would push us into war constantly
now we did blog discussion
