    It Was the Strength of the Opposition Forces, Both Liberal and Conservative, Rather Than the Ineptitude and Stubbornness of President Wilson That Led to the Senate Defeat of the Treaty of Versailles.

    After the war ended, Allied leaders and President Wilson were faced with putting Europe back together the way it was before the war. Certain events led to the Senate’s defeat of the treaty. Wilson was an optimistic progressive, with striking policies for the outlook of Europe. Many of these plans were shut down by other leaders; Wilson still approved the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles because his prime issue, the League of Nations, was still included. Many people of the world did not see the League as a good idea. They wanted and were promised the war to end in a peace and “moralize nationalism”, but the treaty did not reach their expectations (Document B). It planned to prevent effects that were conflicting by using the same things for opposition. It wanted to use force to destroy force, militarism to prevent militarism, et cetera (Document A). Americans recognized that the resolutions projected and allowed by Wilson were condemned to fail.…

    Why Did the League of Nations Fail?

    Although the intentions were arguably credible to begin with, the numerous weaknesses which crippled the League from the very start were hugely detrimental to the impact and prestige of the League. The failure to join by the U.S.A, the refusal to join by communist Russia and Germany being prohibited from joining vastly undermined the authority and strength of the League. Furthermore, 'the League of Nations was shattered by insoluble conflicts between the major imperialist powers' (North, 2002) The inability of the main powers to come to decisions invalidated the organisation and contributed towards the deterioration of the League. 'It has become common to argue that the League system of collective security failed only because the powers lacked faith in the principle' (Stromberg 1956:250-263) However, other factors which were consequential in it's breakdown were, the general structure of the League and poor organisation, the World Depression to a certain extent and the general lack of enthusiasm reflected…

    United Nations Role in Peace and Security

    The League was founded after the devastation, slaughter, disaster and atrocities of the world war-I. It was also an international organization set up in accordance with the Treaty of Versailles in 1919-20 with only 58 members.Its major goal consisted of disarmament, prevention of war and settling disputes between the countries. The harbinger of setting up this organization was the United States President Mr. Woodrow Wilson. But surprisingly the Senate of his own country refused to become its member which was, no doubt, a serious blow to the prestige of the League. However, other great powers like the United Kingdom and France remained its members.…

    Weaknesses and Failure of the League of the Nations

    Classical Liberalism V. Neo-Realist Vs. Structural Realism

    After the 1st World War, the then U.S. President, Woodrow Wilson, put in his efforts in the making of the League of Nations. But, the idea was disapproved by the U.S. Senate, leading to the inefficiency of the League of Nations. The passiveness of U.S. between the wars, along with the fall of the British regime, and Russia suffering by its own internal wounds of the revolution, left a power vacuum in world politics, which, was filled by Germany and Japan in the 1930s. Britain and France agreed in 1938 to let Germany occupy parts of Czechoslovakia, as a policy of appeasement. The policy of appeasement backfired and ended up encouraging Hitler’s further conquests. After the end of both the World Wars, the realists blamed the liberals/idealists. They said, that instead of focussing on what ‘ought to be’, one needs to pay heed on how it ‘really is’. Hence, after the end of World War 2, the realists set out to understand the factors of power politics…

    Paris Peace Conference Dbq

    This is where the Treaty of Versailles was drafted and signed by multiple countries, except the United States. As stated in Document A, “The first proposition...with the proposed League of Nations in that of a tribunal to settle the matters of controversy which may arise between different nations.” The League of Nations was an organization created during the conference to join the allied powers that would collectivise decisions in world affairs. Although Woodrow Wilson thought highly of this idea many conservatives and liberals saw this as a way to strip Americans ability to make decisions on its own. They feared that the nation would revert back to being controlled as England once had colonial rule over it. Another issue was that the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles had no way of enforcing peace without disrupting it. As also demonstrated in Document A, the Treaty tried keep peace but couldn’t because it would use violence to stop violence. In other words it would use larger unified forces to stop smaller disputes that threatened world peace.To further support conservative views, the popular vote would decide whether or not the nations in the League would involve themselves in world disputes. With this system, it was impossible to have a decision fair to all nations because if it wasn’t unanimous, at least one nation would go unrepresented and be involved or uninvolved in something they disagreed…
