Why was U.S. President Wilson unsuccessful in his attempt to get Senate approval for the Treaty of Versailles? Most of the Senators did not agree with the U.S. policy of isolationism.

The Senate urged greater U.S. involvement in the League of Nations.
The president that failed to get the senate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles was Woodrow Wilson.

After the elections of 1918, US senate was dominated by Republicans. However, even the majority party was divided over the issue of Treaty of Versailles. Woodrow Wilson despite all his efforts could not muster required two third majority to ratify the treaty.
US presidents Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were proactive in so-called presidential initiatives. Despite that, the US Senate was not about to let claim for foreign policy to slip out of their constitutional hands. The treaty powers of the US Senate were most evident with Wilson. He virtually ignored the Senate as Wilson negotiated the Treaty of Versailles. The Senate rejected the League of Nations and overall the Treaty of Versailles.
He didn't like the ratifications made by the senate.
