Why did the U.S. Congress refuse to allow America to be part of the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles even though they were promoted by President Wilson?

The U.S. Congress didn't allow the United States to be a part of the League of Nations because they felt that it would drag the United States into a major role in foreign affairs. They wanted the United States to continue its policies of isolationism like how they were before World War I when the United States was starting to be imperialistic, so in the end, the U.S. did not join the League of Nations despite Woodrow Wilson's request. However, that plan didn't work out in the long run, as World War II was one of the main causes for the establishment of the United Nations, and the United States from that point on would be a leading nation handling foreign affairs and maintaining democracy globally.


What role did the United Nations play during the holocaust?
