Question

which two reasons did the senate cite when rejecting the treaty of versailles?
the treaty decreased us involvement in international conflicts.
the treaty went against the idea of non - interference in foreign affairs.
the treaty went against the principles of the monroe doctrine.
wilson refused to support us entry into the league of nations.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Treaty of Versailles was part of the plan for the League of Nations, and the US Senate was concerned about increased (not decreased) involvement in international conflicts through the League, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The US had a tradition of non - interference (isolationism) in foreign affairs. The Treaty of Versailles, with its League of Nations provision, was seen as going against this non - interference idea as it could draw the US into foreign conflicts. This is a valid reason.
• Option 3: The Monroe Doctrine was about European interference in the Americas. The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations were about global conflicts, and the Senate's rejection was related to the Monroe Doctrine's principles as the League could involve the US in conflicts outside the Americas, going against the Monroe Doctrine's non - European - interference - in - Americas and US non - involvement in European affairs (broadly, non - interference in foreign affairs beyond the Americas in line with isolationist sentiment). This is a valid reason.
• Option 4: Wilson was a strong supporter of US entry into the League of Nations, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. The treaty went against the idea of non - interference in foreign affairs.
C. The treaty went against the principles of the Monroe Doctrine.
