Henry Cabot Lodge opposed the Treaty of Versailles primarily because he wanted the United States to make independent decisions. Lodge was concerned about the League of Nations and its implications for U.S. sovereignty, believing that membership could entangle the U.S. in international conflicts without congressional approval.
