The battle over the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles came to an impasse primarily due to partisan divisions in the U.S. Senate, particularly between President Woodrow Wilson and Senate Republicans led by Henry Cabot Lodge. Wilson's refusal to compromise on the League of Nations, which many senators feared would entangle the U.S. in foreign conflicts, fueled opposition. Additionally, concerns over national sovereignty and the treaty's implications for U.S. foreign policy further complicated negotiations, ultimately leading to the treaty's rejection.
The danger of war with Britain, led Washington to support Jay's Treaty.
Jay's Treaty
The October or Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 is the event that ultimately led to the Russian withdrawal from World War 1. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918 was the formal end to Russia's involvement.
President Carter did not aggressively pursue the ratification of the SALT II treaty due to a combination of factors, including escalating tensions with the Soviet Union following their invasion of Afghanistan in late 1979. This event shifted U.S. public and political sentiment against the treaty, as many viewed the Soviets as untrustworthy. Additionally, the growing focus on military preparedness and defense during this period made it politically difficult for Carter to advocate for arms control measures that were perceived as limiting U.S. capabilities. Ultimately, these dynamics led to the treaty's failure to be ratified.
