no.
No. The League of Nations had no real way of wielding its power and so the group fell apart somewhat naturally.

Many Americans objected to the settlement and especially to President Wilson’s League of Nations. Americans believed that the United States’ best hope for peace was to stay out of European affairs.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States prided itself on neutrality. However, we were forced into World War I. The aftermath was the "Treaty of Versailles" in which President Woodrow Wilson played a major part in 1919. One point was to create "The League of Nations" (the forerunner o the United Nations). The Congress rejected the treaty entirely as they wanted to return to neutrality. Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Henry Cabot Lodge, lead the fight to reject it as it would undermine U.S. sovereignty and force the nation into unwanted obligations. Article 10 of the League of Nations covenant was of special concern to Lodge for suggesting the United States would go to war in support of the territorial integrity of any member state of the League of Nations.
The League of Nations was a government formation resulting of the Treaty of Versailles during World War I. Congress rejected the Treaty of Versailles and reparations that Germany had to pay according to the treaty. Therefore the United States never joined the League of Nations.
Because the Treaty, and the League of Nations especially, were the work of President Wilson, who was a Democrat. Then, as now, the Republicans are ready to sacrifice the good of the nation and the world if they convince themselves they can gain some partisan political advantage for the Republican Party by doing so.
The League Of Nations was set up to be a large 'police force'. Woodrow Wilson came up with the idea of the League of Nations, and there were a few reasons why he didn't join. He claimed that he had to get support from his country and congress. Also, America thought that they were sending troops everywhere to settle disputes. This made America think that they didn't have to join the League of Nations because they were already doing what The League of Nations was set up to do. Also, many Americans were very anti-British and anti-French. This meant that they didn't want to join the League because they didn't want to be part of something that the British and French were involved with.
Senate rejected the league of nations because of isolationists in the U.S, isolationists wanted America to keep away from European affairs, they wanted America to be isolated from Europe. - hope this helps :) if u need further explanation I am popeie3. But don't bug me though, I know all about WWI and WWII :)
The treaty established a League of Nations. Lodge did not want that because The League could establish international laws that America might be opposed to. He did not want America to be forced into anything and he wanted to protect American interests.
