Neutrality and the War in Europe

Question 5 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

What was the most important reason why Wilson’s opponents argued against the League of Nations?

Answer
A
The League of Nations failed to achieve major territorial gains for the UnitedStates.
B
The League of Nations might have forced the United States to become aninternational peacekeeper.
C
The League of Nations failed to sufficiently punish Germany for its actions in the war.
D
The League of Nations did not include enough of Wilson’s Fourteen Points.

Explanation

Wilson’s opponents, especially critics concerned about preserving national sovereignty, feared that joining the League could commit the United States to helping defend other nations and keeping peace abroad. In other words, they worried the U.S. might be drawn into international conflicts as a peacekeeper. That matches choice B; the other choices were not the central objection raised by Wilson’s opponents.
