The League of Nations had many reasons for its failure, but the person who is most at blame is Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was the man who came up with the plan to make a League of Nations. When he came up with his 14 points, a League of Nations was one of the points. The reason he caused it to fail was because he didn't gather enough support so it would be ratified by the Senate. The idea of America being in the League was shot down. Wilson made the League of Nations on his own and included the U.S. in it without country or Senate approval.

Wilson did not gather enough support to make America in the League. He needed 2/3 of the Senate to agree with him. The League was his creation but he did not get his own country to support him to even be in it. So now Wilson has to go around the country holding conventions to gather support. He was campaigning against a man named Henry Cabbot Lodge. Lodge was preaching against being in the league and Wilson was preaching for being a part of the league. During this trip around the country, Wilson had a stroke which then left him without and support and Lodge gathering a ton of support for not being in it. If Wilson would have gotten the American people on his side they would have persuaded the Senators of their state to ratify the plan to be in the League.

Wilson made the League of Nations on his own and included the U.S. in it without country or Senate approval. So as it turns out, Wilson's own creation that he so deliberately backed up, his very own country was not even a part of it. This in turn was what caused the League of Nations to fail.
