Woodrow Wilson brought the idea of the League of Nations back to the US, but it was overturned by the House of Representatives. The nation would not support it, so the League of nations failed. Woodrow Wilson was a major supporter of the League, but there was too much conflict going on in the home front with race riots and a postwar depression. He would not compromise the concepts of the League of Nations with the Republican dominated congress, and lost all votes for ratifying the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Price for his contributions to the negotiations and helping to create the League, but he didn’t win over the Congress and what they thought was important. So goes politics…

Was he responsible? No. He did what he could to make the League of Nations, and he presented it. It was just terribly timing, and Congress was not willing to hear him with what was going on.

Mike answers:

We prospered because there was no central bank, our currency was backed by gold and regulations did not exist on a large scale. Taxes were also ruled unconstitutional.

Woodrow Wilson was the original looter! Since the Federal Reserve Act and the 16th Amendment were created, poverty has been on the rise.

We have realistically been under fascism since then…just no one knows it.

Mike answers:

Wilson wanted a treaty which was fairly light on Germany. He believed that if Germany was punished too harshly they would want revenge and would start another war later on (what a smart guy)

Clemenceau hated germany and wanted them crippled. He actually wanted German to be split up into it’s former provinces.

This makes clemenceau seem very harsh and stupid. However it must be remembered that America had not recieved very much damage from WW1 (relative to britain and France) and the american people did not have any strong feelings towards germany. France on the other hand had lost 2/3rds of its male population and was crippled by the war. The French people wanted germany punished and actuallly Clemenceau was forced out of office soon after the trety of versailles because the French thought the treaty was not harsh enough.

Mike answers:

“A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined. ”

Because of this, apart from other reasons, imperialism was no longer the ideal. Thats how we have >190 sovereign states today.

It was an important trigger and signal from US to Europe that the Americans did not support imperialism and believed in freedom. True to its word, the Americans promised the Philippines independence as early as 1916 with the Jones Law and again in 1933 with the Tydings Mcduffie Act, AFTER Woodrow Wilson drew up his 14 points.
