The League of Nations

Question 3 • GA-GSE World History

Which argument did opponents of the League of Nations make?

Answer
A
The League of Nations would not invite the United States to take a position of leadership.
B
The League of Nations might have forced the United States to become a peacekeeper.
C
The Treaty of Versailles failed to sufficiently punish Germany for its actions in the war.
D
The Treaty of Versailles did not include enough of President Wilson’s Fourteen Points.

Explanation

Opponents argued that joining the League of Nations could draw the United States into foreign conflicts and require it to act as a peacekeeper. This concern reflected fears that League commitments might limit Congress’s control over decisions about war. The argument was not that the League would deny the United States leadership; supporters expected it to have influence.
