Who wrote the Treaty of Alliance with France?
John Adams' wife, Abigail Smith, wrote the Treaty with France as she had won the "Best Penmanship in the Thirteen Colonies" award three years running. Interesting side note, there is a ongoing rumor that Abigail had used her womanly wiles to entice French foreign minister the Comte de Vergennes to sign the treaty. He had refused to negotiate with Benjamin Franklin after Franklin embarrassed him with a whoopee cushion at the now notorious "dîner de pets" in Paris.

Why did the us senate refuse to ratify the Versallies treaty after world war 1?
One reason was politics. US President Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat. Less that a week before the Armistice ended the fighting in WWI, the US held its mid-term elections for 1918, and the Republican Party gained control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The party which is out of the White House usually picks up seats in Congress in the mid-term elections, then and now. Wilson had been reelected in 1916 with the slogan "He Kept Us Out of The War", but less than two weeks after being sworn in for his second term, asked Congress to declare war, and so got us into the war. Wilson put his whole soul into trying to shape the peace after the war. He spent months in France negotiating the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, arguing that his "Fourteen Points" should be the basis of the peace terms. In the end he was able to convince the other Treaty negotiators from the other countries to accept only one of his Fourteen Points - the League of Nations. Back home Congressional Republicans were not inclined to give Wilson anything he wanted, much like the Republican House of Representatives (control of which the Democrats lost in the last mid-term election in 2010) will not agree to anything the current Democratic president wants. So, if Wilson wanted the US to ratify the Treaty of Versailles and join the League of Nations, there was absolutely no way they were going to do either.
The other reason was philosophical. Throughout its history the US had been isolationist, safe and secure behind its massive moat of two wide oceans. The people of the US focused their attention on internal matters, and did not want to involve themselves in the affairs of other countries. George Washington had warned the American people to "Beware of Entangling Foreign Alliances", and they had taken that to heart. Many Americans (or their ancestors) had immigrated to America precisely to get away from the incessant squabbling and warfare of Europe. Before WWI the only departure from this strict non-intercourse approach to foreign affairs was the war with Spain in 1898. But, that was a short war, only four months long, and ended well. So WWI was really America's debut on the international scene. And the people of the US were appalled and disillusioned over the experience. They were aghast at the greedy behavior of our wartime allies at Versailles, and wanted to go back to the old ways, as soon as possible, and leave the rest of the world to take care of themselves.

What was the effect when The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed?
Germany had armies fighting in Russia when the treaty was signed. By ending the war there, Germany was able to move most of those armies to France to bolster those already fighting there. It also removed Russia from the war, allowing them to fight their Civil War with less interference from the Central Powers. It would've granted large amounts of territory to the Central Powers, but the later treaty of Versailles forced them to repudiate the treaty.

What were some of the negative effects of the world was 1 peace treaty?
The treaty unfairly blamed Germany for WWI, while Germany didn't even start it. They had to cut their military and pay all war reparations. This made Germany a very weak country. Late Germany found themselves in deby. In their time of need a young Adolf Hitler will rise to power promising to fix all the problems in society including the wrongs resulted from the Treaty of Versailles
