Question

president wilsons proposal to form the league of nations was most weakened by his illness while traveling to gain support his shortage of campaign funds his strong anti - german sentiment his disagreement with henry cabot lodge

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "his illness while traveling to gain support": While his illness impacted his efforts, it was not the primary weakening factor for the League of Nations proposal.
• "his shortage of campaign funds": Campaign funds are not relevant to the weakening of the League of Nations proposal.
• "his strong anti - German sentiment": Anti - German sentiment was more related to the Treaty of Versailles and not the main reason for the weakening of the League of Nations proposal.
• "his disagreement with Henry Cabot Lodge": Henry Cabot Lodge led the opposition in the Senate against the League of Nations. His disagreement with Wilson, especially over the terms of the League and the Treaty of Versailles, was a major factor in the Senate's refusal to ratify the Treaty, which severely weakened the proposal for the League of Nations.

Answer:

D. his disagreement with Henry Cabot Lodge
