George Washington's Farewell Address argued against international alliances because America needed to work on themselves. So, people could see it as dishonoring the first president if they were to join the alliance. (Doc 1)

# data[].attributes.body
President Woodrow Wilson proposed the League of Nations to ensure that peace and unity was preserved at all times and to also help prevent conflict before war broke out. Wilson proposed this because he knew that if we had an orgnizaation that was able to settle matters and try to protect peace, then no nation or the world would have to risk its people, power, etc to fight. Even more, Wilson believed that the Monroe Doc. and such American followings and beliefs would die off if they joined the LON so they wanted to maintain what they have. Also, Wilson wanted to ensure that nations had a common thing that brought them togethor and ensured peace so he proposed the LON.

One reason they did not join was because they thought that joining it would increase their entanglement with foreign powers. They thought that their independence would be stripped because they had ties with other powers rather than US alone. They would not be able to make individual decision for the benefit of themselves anymore but rather the benefit of everyone joining the LON. (Doc 2)

In William Borah's Speech in the United States Senate, he argues that having alliances with foreign powers would neglect the idea of independence that the U.S had fought for. It shouldn't rely on foreign powers, as it should rather be independent, and not tied to another country. It would be more beneficial to mankind in the U.S, if it was independent and not rely on foreign powers, then being caught up with them (Doc 2.

They do not want to set aside Washington policy and the Monroe doctrine but they also want to prevent other wars from happening.

Some of the arguments in favor of the League of Nation was that the league would help prevent future war and would help preserve peace, in addition to making the world itself better (doc 1). The league of Nations focoused on brining nations togethor, and believed that the correct ideals of a nation was peace and unity and conflict free. Thus, many saw that the LON would limit and remove competition and would encourge world peace.

For those who were against the League of Nations believed, it would create more conflict with people's "right to govern themselves free from restraint (Doc TWO)." In other words it would intervene with the independence of other countries and disrupt the existing peace.

An opposing arguments was that The U.S. Senate opposed the League of nations because it would oppose constitutional rights and have entanglements with other nations. This means that the U.S. Senate feared that people were not going to be granted liberty and protection which goes against the ideals of America. A political cartoon shows how the League of Nations is with the foreign entanglements and how the U.S. Senate interrupts. (Doc #3)

Henry Cabot Lodge addresses in his speech to senate, that any and all statements made in Washington's farewell address should be stood by firmly as it will allow for the United States to best avoid another war, similar to the statements of the Monroe Doctrine and to stay away from foreign policies. (Doc. 1)

They did not join because they did not want to commit to an alliance that could be risky. Knowing that USA is built off the principals of independence, an alliance would hurt that principal because it would mean that US could not "govern themselves" because they would have to keep in mind that their actions could directly impact other nations and not just their own. (Doc 2) And this would be taking their independence away because they cannot do things the way they want anymore. They have to do things in favor of everyone else.

Some of the arguments in favor of the League of Nations include reasons of establishing international peace.

I do not think that they were correct to oppose the League Of Nations, the reason why is that it could prevent what is currently happening with Russia if everyone was able to get involved. The reason the US did not want to join is because of intanglements with international affairs but when we make the worlds problems our problems that is when we are able to truly be united. This would get rid of a lot of hate and tensions between the different countries.

No, the entire point of the League of Nations was to mediate conflicts between countries so that another event like WW1 would not occur again. Yet it's shown in history that it was unsuccessful since WW2 occured only 2 decades later. Unfortunately, that could have been prevented if America joined the League of Nations and mediated the conflict between themselves and Germany.

The U.S did not join the League of Nations because it was agreed that the U.S should stick to being independent, rather than rely on foreign powers.

Those who opposed the LON like, William Borah who in a speech to the United States Senate wrote that, pursuing the treaty would limit the power of self-governing the United States prides itself upon. He argued that if the U.S. were to join the LON, the people of America would be sacrificing their own happiness with that of other countries. (Doc. 2)

# data[].attributes.body
The arguments in favor of the League of Nations was that by creating an alliance it would protect the American hemisphere. Meaning that the U.S would be in serious danger with other countries without the League of Nations. Henry Cabot Lodge supports this by claiming the league and the Monroe Doctrine is based on the principle of self preservation. To ensure this they need the League of Nations

Although joining the LON would provide America with additional safety and unity, the United States resulted in not joining the LON to ultimately avoid risking the freedom and sovereignty of their nation. America did not want to be seen as less than any country and relying upon them for any strength in power(Doc 2.)

# data[].attributes.body
No because LON was to provide peace within the countries. And if the opponents were worried about a lack of independence, they should view the LON in a way as countries helping each other. Of Course each country should be independent but the LON is not taking that away from them. It is just assuring that one country is not a scheming against another.

I would say that they were not right to oppose the League of Nations because it would avoid a lot of international conflict with Russia, such as the Cold War, which ultimately led to even more conflict with Russia, so if they had joined the league none of that would've occured.

There were many argments as to why one should oppose the League of Nations. Borah argued that the League of Nations would cause the USA to enter global conflicts and would limit the USA's abiity to live their life and truly practice democracy (doc 2). Borah made this argument becuse he saw that the US would have to fight for future intrest and it would put their country at risk. Additionally, it would cause greater nation conficts (doc 4) because not every nation agrees with the doings of others and this could lead to conflict.

Some of the opposing arguments of thoes who oppoesd the League of Nations believed that they would have their rights and power taken away from them. William Borah explains how people won't have the power to self- govern which means they will be unable to govern for their best intrest (Doc2).

I would say that no, the opponents were not correct to oppose the LON, due to the fact that it offered peace and unity for all countries who were involved in war.

Also, the USA wants to preserve its peoples peace and does not want global conflict (doc 2).

In terms of US history, isolationist means to stay out of foreign affairs and focus on self-governing similarly shown in the Monroe Doctrine.

The USA was wrong in not joining the League of Nations for many reasons. Why aim to create peace and unity and motivate other countries to join but you (USA) chooses not to join? The USA itself was involved in the war, and would be too in WW2, and contributed to the damage occuring in some ways, so it seems wrong for the USA to not want to be involved in a treaty where they can perservere peace and unity. This comes to show that yes, the USA wants to self rule, but it shows that they still believe that their own goverment is the right goverment and coming togethor with other countries would negativly impact their democracy.

Opponents were incorrect to oppose the League of Nations because the whole point of the LON was to bring countries in unison and bring peace.

For example, the situation with Russia that is going on today. Yes, it may have meant that countries had to now rely on each other and come together and work as one. However, their independence was not the target.
