President Wilson and the Treaty of Versailles." At issue here is the American involverment in the League of Nations.
President Wilson went to Paris at the end of World War I, to ensure that a fair and just peace would be established at the end of the war. Membership in the League of Nations, he said was essential. Without an international peace organization to handle international disputes, said Wilson future wars were inevidable. Wilson 's critics, lead by Republican Senate leader Henry Cabot Lodge, argued that Wilson was not a realist. Americans wanted peace now, not further involvement in European affairs, said Lodge.
Question:
What do you think about President Wilson? Was he just too idealistic about world peace? Did President Wilson really understand what was needed at the end of World War I ?
