After President Woodrow Wilson presented the Treaty of Versailles to the Senate in 1919, the Senate debated its provisions, particularly the League of Nations. Ultimately, the Senate rejected the treaty, primarily due to concerns about the League's collective security commitments and fears it could entangle the U.S. in foreign conflicts. Wilson's refusal to compromise on the treaty's terms contributed to its failure to gain the necessary two-thirds majority for ratification.
