At the Paris Peace Conference, President Woodrow Wilson faced significant obstacles, including opposition from European leaders who prioritized national interests over his idealistic vision for a League of Nations and self-determination. British Prime Minister David Lloyd George and French Premier Georges Clemenceau were particularly focused on punishing Germany and securing territorial gains, which clashed with Wilson's goal of promoting collective security and peace. Additionally, Wilson struggled to gain bipartisan support back home in the U.S. Senate, which ultimately hindered the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations.
