During the last part of Wilson's presidency, few realized that he had been crippled by a severe stroke in October 1919, which left him physically incapacitated and unable to effectively lead. This health crisis significantly impacted his ability to negotiate and advocate for the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations. As a result, much of his agenda was stalled, and his close aides largely managed the administration, often without the public's awareness of Wilson's condition. His decline in health ultimately hindered his political influence and contributed to the treaty's rejection by the Senate.
