…On this day in 1920 the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles for the second time (the first time was on November 19, 1919). It came close to passing on one vote but could not get the 2/3 majority needed for ratification. The biggest stumbling block was an article that allowed the league of nations to go to war without a vote by the US congress. In addition to that there was a lot of resistance to getting involved with the European problems. We have all the same problems with the UN but FDR/Truman was able to power that through easily because he was virtually a dictator.
