1 answer

President Wilson faced opposition in the U.S. Senate because some people, called Irreconcilables, wanted to stay out of world problems and didn't like the League of Nations idea. Other senators, known as Reservationists, were okay with the treaty but wanted to make changes to it first. Some Americans believed in isolationism, wanting to avoid involvement in other countries' issues, while others thought we should help, which is called interventionism.
