Main opposition to Treaty was Senator Henry Cabot Lodge ? isolationist (wants the United States to stay away from other countries) Wilson goes on speaking tour of the United States to gain support for the treaty Suffers a massive stroke Legally, probably should have resigned Senate does not ratify the Treaty of Versailles We do NOT sign the Treaty of Versailles
