Why did the US Senate reject American's participation in the league of nations?

Answer 1

Senate rejected the league of nations because of isolationists in the U.S, isolationists wanted America to keep away from European affairs, they wanted America to be isolated from Europe. - hope this helps :) if u need further explanation I am popeie3.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

the senate basically rejected American participation because of the conflicting standings on America as a world power much of congress and the senate wished to remain an isolationist nation while president Wilson urged to join the league of nations for a peaceful world. Senator lodge of Massachusetts (Wilson's long time rival) proposed 14 reservations to safeguard American ideals an tacked them on to the treaty to join the league. Wilson stubbornly refused to accept these points and urged all Democrats to do so...The treaty lost in the senate at 55 to 39 votes and was stuck at this deadlock thus America was left out of the league of nations and remained isolationist for the 1920's
