Wilson, the 14 Points, and Versailles



Study the timeline below. Given what you already know of the time period, why do you think it was so difficult for Wilson to achieve passage of his 14 Points through the Senate? What domestic and world events might have affected his ability to convince the Senate of its gravitas and worth to America? Answer in a detailed paragraph or two.
TIMELINE OF EVENTS

1918: Wilson's Peace Proposal, Fourteen Points.

November 1918: Midterm Elections. Wilson makes a partisan appeal for a Democratic congress to ensure support for his foreign policies.


5 November 1918: Democrats lose control of both houses of congress.


December 1918: Wilson arrives in Paris without a single prominent Republican in the delegations.


14 February 1919: Lincoln reports to the plenary session with the finished draft of the League Covenant.


April 1919: Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and thirty-nine senators declare that the covenant of the League is unacceptable.


8 July 1919: Wilson returns home with the Versailles Treaty and calls on the Senate to accept "This Great Duty."


August 1919: Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, resorts to delay tactics and lengthy hearings. He personally dislikes Wilson.


September 1919: Wilson, to garner support for his foreign policies, embarks on a nation-wide speaking tour.


25 September 1919: Wilson's doctor cancels Wilson's tour and Wilson is hurried back to Washington.


2 October 1919: Wilson suffers a severe stroke and paralysis.


7-19 November 1919: The Senate adopts fourteen of Lodge's reservations concerning the Treaty of Versailles, most having to do with the League.


December 1919: The Senate votes to reconsider.


January, February 1920: Wilson remains adamant that there are to be no reservations.


March 1920: Twenty-one Democrats abandon Wilson's ship and join the reservationists. Treaty still not ratified.

It truly is accurate,coconut h2o helps not to feel hungry to get
a lengthy time. If I need to eat something sweet
or unwanted fat and I am on the diet, I just both eat apple or drink a glass of coco juice, and
that i never really feel hungry to get a while afterwards.
That's surprising taking into account that it contains only 46 energy.

I rarely drop remarks, however i did some searching and wound up here "Wilson, the 14 Points, and Versailles".
And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it appear like some of the responses look as if they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting on other online sites, I would like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
