Why did the US failed to pass the Treaty of Versailles?
They didnt fail to pass it.Yes they did fail to pass it in the US. They failed to pass it because Wilson first off was solely worried bout getting his League of Nations into the treaty that he didn't really involve the U.S. in the other important aspects. They couldn't even make much money from Germany etc. Also because many people disagreed on the league and foreign relations and the promise that it would end all war, etc. So it eventually didn't pass and Senator Lodge amended Wilson's treaty because Wilson refused to do it and it also didn't pass because Wilson and his followers wouldn't vote for it. So then in 1921 they eventually passed a treaty I think its the joint resolution? I can't remember.
