Senator Henry Cabot Lodge opposed the Treaty of Versailles primarily due to concerns over the League of Nations, which he believed would compromise U.S. sovereignty and entangle the nation in foreign conflicts without congressional approval. He also argued that the treaty's terms were too harsh on Germany and that it did not adequately address the need for a stable post-war Europe. Lodge sought amendments to the treaty to ensure that the U.S. could maintain its independence in foreign policy, but his efforts ultimately contributed to the treaty's rejection by the Senate.

Everyone supported the treaty of Versailles except Germany because they were the ones paying the debts
The treaty established a League of Nations. Lodge did not want that because The League could establish international laws that America might be opposed to. He did not want America to be forced into anything and he wanted to protect American interests.
