1) Woodrow Wilson (the US president at the time) believed that Germany should be punished, but not so severely. He wanted a just (Fair) settlement that wouldn't leave Germany fealing powerless.
2) Woodrow also wanted to set up an international organisation called "The Legue Of Nations" which/who would settle the disputes fairly
3) The US didn't support these ideas. They soon became fed up with the involvement in the European problems that they had. The US became more of an ISOLATIONIST
To punish the Germans for WW1
Peace.
wood-raw Wilson gained more from the treaty of Versailles because he didn't want to Germany destroyed
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.
the treaty of Versailles
Woodrow Wilson provided many of the key ideas and personally negotiated many details in the peace treaty that ended World War I. He created the slogan "Peace without Victory" to persuade America to not go to war.Though when Germany stopped sea traffic, sunk U.S. ships, and killed innocent Americans, Woodrow Wilson declared war. Nine months later, he introduced the Fourteen Points plan for peace, which included freedom of navigation of the seas, the return of land, and and independent Polish state. A year later, he went to Versailles to negotiate a treaty with the other of the big four (Italy, France, and England). The Allies disliked Wilson's emphasis on freedom for ethnic groups. At first, Germany refused to sign the peace treaty because officials did not want to have part of their army taken away, return the land they had taken, and pay for the damages, but then they did after pressure from France. Wilson did not want to force Germany to give up everything, but eventually he lost that argument with France. So finally. after battling for and losing some of what he wanted Wilson signed the the Treaty of Versailles, and peace, though a flawed peace, was restored to the world.

The Senate rejected the Treaty in March 19, 1920 President Wilson did sign the Treaty of Versailles, but he had foolishly refused to bring Representatives and Senators, particularly Henry Cabot Lodge, the majority leader in the house. This may have biased the legislature against the treaty, but the main reason the U.S. did not agree to the Treaty of Versaille was not that they thought it was too harsh, it was that the League of Nations had become part of the treaty. The U.S. did not want its foreign policy decided by another body, so they rejected the treaty. There is a certain irony that the League of Nations was the addition that the legislatures disliked, as it was the only part of Wilson's 14 points to make it onto the Treaty.
