Why did Henry Cabot lodge have problems with the treat of Versailles?
President Wilson, a Democrat, was engaged in a power struggle with a Republican controlled Senate. The conflict centered around a balance of power issue -- Wilson had negotiated the treaty without the customary presence of senators, and he neglected to discuss and negotiate the terms of the treaty with the Senate Foreign Relations committee before making it public. By cutting the senators out of the treaty making process, Wilson was attempting to do an end run around the Senate's authority over treaties and this angered many senators. The Republicans also had major substantive and ideological issues with the proposed treaty. Some of these issues arose out the bitter, personal rivalry between the head of the Foreign Relations Committee, Henry Cabot Lodge and Wilson. These men had opposing views of international relations with Lodge being a realist and Wilson an idealist. Lodge and other Republican Senators believed the treaty should call for the unconditional surrender of Germany and it did not, they felt that many provisions as written were unenforceable, and they opposed the treaty provisions which authorized US participation in Wilson's pet project, the League of Nations. In particular, Lodge felt participation in the League would compromise US sovereignty by requiring the US to enter into international conflicts when it was not in the national interest of the US to do so. Lodge's committee sent the treaty to the floor of the Senate for a vote with 14 amendments, but recommended against its passage. On November 19, 1919, for the first time in US history, the Senate rejected a peace treaty.

Why America not ratify the Treaty of Versailles?
Even though many of America's civilians supported it, the Senators were not pleased with. The treaty hardly put anything that Woodrow Wilson (the President during that time) what he wanted in his Fourteen Points except for the formation of the League of Nations. Rather than putting the other important points, the treaty said that it placed all of the blame on Germany and that they forced Germany to pay for its actions. Germany had to give up its overseas empire and some of its own land and resources! It was also forced to pay huge reparations to Britain and France, which unfortunately they couldn't and were buried in debt... That was why the senators hated the treaty and never ratified it...
