The irreconcilables were a faction of U.S. senators who opposed the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations after World War I. They believed that joining the League would compromise U.S. sovereignty and entangle the nation in foreign conflicts. Their stance was rooted in a strong commitment to isolationism and a desire to avoid international commitments that could lead to future wars. Ultimately, their opposition played a significant role in the U.S. Senate's rejection of the treaty.
