Who+doomed+the+League+of+Nations+to+failure?

**The League of Nations was a part of Woodrow Wilson's 14 point plan. It was passed in all countries involved except the United States, although ultimately the League of Nations ended due to failure to cooperate. The blame can easily be put on Woodrow Wilson himself. Woodrow Wilson went into his 14 plan thinking that the senate and the American people would be beside him in his decisions when really he knew nothing of what was to come. The senators did not agree with the idea of the League of Nations and nor did the American people. Its difficult to continue an organization when the person who came up with it is out of the picture. All reason for continuing the League was lost when American senators failed to pass the plan. The League had rules that Americans were not willing to abide by. Woodrow Wilson didn't know his people well enough to be sure that a plan of his would pass in the senate. The League itself had binding rules that every country attached must follow. As the American people were becoming isolationists it was difficult for them to believe that they would have to follow rules that they may not have voted for, or had any say against. It looked bad to other countries that the own creator of this League of Nations, couldn't even control his country enough to get them to come to an agreement. It showed weakness in Woodrow which caused him to have a stoke and collapse. This is when the League of Nations began to see no reason to continue. Shorty thereafter, the League of Nations split. All because of one man and his inability to convince his country of what was good for them. It is possible of course that the League wasn't good for the America, but in that case it is again easy to point the finger of blame at Woodrow Wilson for pushing something on the world when it wasn't even fit for his own country. Woodrow Wilson doomed the League of Nations for failure, the minute the idea popped into his head. **
