President Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points" agenda was designed to
create the conditions for a lasting peace after World War I. The most
important point was the creation of a League of Nations, an international
body to resolve disputes among nations. However, the U.S. Senate, weary of
international involvement, refused to allow the United States to join the
league. As a result, the League of Nations was weaker than intended. The
deadly consequences of this failure were apparent only a few years later,
when World War II began. What is the main idea of this paragraph?
A. The failure to create a strong League of Nations led to a world
war.
B. The United States became isolationist after World War I.
C. The U.S. Senate and President Wilson did not see international
issues the same way.
D. President Wilson's administration was a failure because of the
failure of his Fourteen Points plan.
