Senate Republicans were arguing against ratification of the Treaty of Versailles, because it would committ the US to be involved in the League of Nations. Involvement in the League of Nations would involve commitment of the US to participate in foreign wars, and based on the experience of World War I, they wished this not to happen. Instead they wanted the US to return to its traditional foreign policy of neutrality and isolation.
After World War 1, Senate Republicans argued against the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations. They were concerned about the loss of U.S. sovereignty and the potential for entangling alliances. They believed that the treaty would undermine the country's ability to pursue its own interests independently.

The outcome of World War I FAILED to bring about a world body, the "League of Nations." The U.S. Senate WOULD NOT ratify it. The outcome of World War II SUCCEEDED in bringing about a world body, the United Nations. The U.S. Senate DID ratify it. If you don't succeed the first time in starting us on the road to a one-world socialist oligarchy, you try again (if that's what you want!)
No. There was war in China between communists and republicans before the Cold War, in fact the civil war in China started before World War II even.

The US Senate fail to support Wilson after World War 1 by refusing to allow America to enter the League of Nations. The reason cited was Wilson's failure to involve the senators in the planning and negotiations.
