Please summarize the main points about the American response to the Treaty of Versailles.

At first, there was a great deal of support for the Treaty
of Versailles in the US.  Many American governors and state legislatures endorsed the
Treaty and the League of Nations when Wilson returned from Europe.  Even so, the Treaty
was rejected by the Senate.

There were many reasons for
this rejection.  Some of them include:

• Liberals
  were upset with Wilson for backing away from his 14
  Points.


• German and Irish groups in the US were unhappy
  with the war in general and did not support the
  treaty.


• There was a strong sense of isolationism among
  many and those people would not want to commit to membership in the
  League.

Because of these sorts of doubts, there
was opposition to the Treaty in the Senate.  Over time, support for the Treaty died out
among the public and the Treaty was not ratified by the Senate.
