OFFICIAL PORTRAIT
Cause: Lodge moves to the forefront since Wilson made the error of naming a negotiation team that ignored Senators or members of the Republican party; hence, there would be a fight for ratification.
*Henry Cabot Lodge (HCL) was a U.S. Senator.
*HCL was a Republican.
*HCL chaired the Foreign Relations Committee
*HCL led the "reservationists," who demonstrated that Congress over the League.
*Reservationists wanted to limit the impact of Article X in relation to the Monroe Doctrine.
*Wilson argued that League decisions were "binding in conscience only, not in law."
Effect: The "reservations" led to the "barnstorming" tour by Wilson that resulted in his stroke. Without Wilson's leadership or ability to compromise, the Treaty was doomed. Without America's participation, the League was doomed and World War II would occur.
