The League of Nations had many problems within it, but the main problem that was to blame for the failure of it was Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was the one to make the whole plan and outline for the League and how it was to be created. Apparently those rules and regulations that he created for the League didn't work because it is no longer around today.

Wilsons 14 point plan was not strong enough and didn't have the qualities in it that would cause other countries to follow it. Even when the League was created he didn't follow the plan completely. Wilson did not gather enough support for his 14 point plan and this really did affect the outcome of what happened to the League and how the United States affected it. Woodrow did not go over the plan with the senate beforehand and this upset he senate and in return they rejected his plan. Wilson needed the senate to vote at least 2/3 and they didn't so it was not passed and the U.S. was not brought into the League of Nations.

During Woodrows travels around the U.S. to gather more support for his 14 point plan he was competing against a man named Henry Cabbot Lodge. Lodge was on the Republican opposition party against the League of Nations and was preaching around the country trying to convince everyone to reject the plan. Wilson was doing the opposite and eventually had a stroke while out on one of his trips around the U.S. Woodrow almost gathered enought support for the 14 point plan but his stroke stopped him from doing so. Lodge was successful and the Senate rejected his plan again and the U.S. never entered the League of Nations.

All in all Wilson was not successful and the U.S. never got into the League of Nations and it was unfortunate but there were many faults in the League and it would of most likely failed even if the U.S. was in it. But Wilson was responible for not getting the U.S. the League and we have to remember that for the rest of history.
