Many Americans objected to the settlement and especially to President Wilson’s League of Nations. Americans believed that the United States’ best hope for peace was to stay out of European affairs.
The Treaty of Versailles ended WWI. There was no single peace treaty ending WWII, such as the Treaty of Paris which ended the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, Seven Years War, Crimean War, and the Spanish-American War. The United States did not formally end hostilities with Germany until October 19, 1951. The United States signed the Treaty of Peace with Japan in 1951. Russia and Japan still have not signed a peace treaty ending WWII hostilities.
The United States, who wanted to stay out of Europe's affairs that didn't concern them.
The Senate rejected the Versailles Treaty primarily due to concerns over Article 10, which called for mutual defense commitments among League of Nations members. Many senators, including those led by Henry Cabot Lodge, feared that this could entangle the United States in foreign conflicts without congressional approval. Additionally, there was a growing isolationist sentiment in the country, leading to resistance against international commitments. Ultimately, the treaty was seen as a compromise that didn't align with the interests of a significant portion of the Senate.
The original peace treaty that ended World War I was the Treaty of Versailles, which was primarily drafted by the Allied Powers, particularly the leaders of France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Key figures included French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. The treaty was signed on June 28, 1919, and it aimed to establish peace and outline the terms for Germany and the other Central Powers.
The treaty of Versailles was a the treaty that ended world war 1. by the terms of this treaty Germany had to pay the united states 13 billion dollars in war damages, and on top of that germnay's border was reduced and thus Yugoslavia, and some of those other "slavia" countries were created. in a way Hitler felt that it was Germany's time to shine and thus started his whole Nazi and S.S. Regime
The senators differed slightly on how the United States should participate in world affairs.

The League of Nations was a government formation resulting of the Treaty of Versailles during World War I. Congress rejected the Treaty of Versailles and reparations that Germany had to pay according to the treaty. Therefore the United States never joined the League of Nations.
The United States did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles, therefore, a separate treaty between Germany and the United States was needed. The treaty brought the United States in a closer agreement, to the point where the United States actually assisted the Weimar Republic in meeting some of its obligations.
The United States rejected the Treaty of Versailles because they did not want to punish Germany that harshly. The U.S. felt that the treaty was punishing Germany the wrong way and felt that Germany would respond back. The treaty was made in a way that Germany would have no choice but to fight the treaty and that is a major reason for World War 2. By the U.S. not signing the treaty, they were not immediately involved in World War 2.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the US-Mexican War in 1848. From this treaty the United States gained 500,000 square miles of territory and emerged as a major world power. However, the United States was rather arrogant while making this treaty, which kind of spoiled Mexico and American relations. It is one of the oldest treaties that is still in effect with Mexico and the United States.
NATO. (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
It was led by Idaho Senator William Borah.The irreconcilables opposed the 'Treaty of Versailles' of 1919 at the end of World War I.The irreconcilables consisted of about 12 - 16 Senators (both Democrat and Republicans) who opposed the treaty. They succeeded and the United States never ratified the 'Treaty of Versailles' and the United States never joined the 'League of Nations'.
Because the Treaty, and the League of Nations especially, were the work of President Wilson, who was a Democrat. Then, as now, the Republicans are ready to sacrifice the good of the nation and the world if they convince themselves they can gain some partisan political advantage for the Republican Party by doing so.
