The U.S. Senate didn't like it and alot of Americans didn't like it either.
It was President Woodrow Wilson that represented the United States at Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919.
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.
The United States did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles, therefore, a separate treaty between Germany and the United States was needed. The treaty brought the United States in a closer agreement, to the point where the United States actually assisted the Weimar Republic in meeting some of its obligations.
they believed it would involve them in more foreign affairs and could lead them into more wars/conflicts that did not want to deal with or have to pay for w/ $ or the cost of lives
US involvement was tremendously helpful to the Triple Entente; it is likely that the outcome of the war would have been different had the US not gotten involved, either a victory by the Central Powers, or at least a stalemate, which would have resulted in a very different peace treaty than the Treaty of Versailles. This would have had huge historical consequences of various sorts.
Henry Cabot Lodge
the treaty of Versailles was signed in Versailles. if you mean another treaty then give us a clue.... **metonymy**
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge strongly opposed the Treaty of Versailles because he felt that the US should demand unconditional surrender. He is largely responsible for preventing US entry into the League of Nations, partly due to his personal hatred of President Woodrow Wilson.
