Republican [BLANK-1] was the most vocal critic of the Treaty of Versailles, The Fourteen Points, and America’s admission to the League of Nations. This senator favored American isolationism and spoke out against Woodrow Wilson’s attempts to ensure a lasting peace after World War I. His efforts were successful; America failed to join the League of Nations (which was Wilson’s idea) and failed to ratify the Treaty of Versailles. These results weakened the League of Nations and contributed, ultimately, to the conditions that led to World War II.

Adolf Hitler was motivated to betray the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and to attack his ally, the Soviet Union, based on the Soviet Union’s very poor performance fighting the Finns in [BLANK-1]. During this conflict early in World War II, U.S.S.R. forces struggled mightily to defeat Finland, despite the Soviets having far greater numbers and superior technology. Hitler thus assumed that if the U.S.S.R. could barely beat Finland, that Nazi Germany would have no trouble defeating the Soviets.
