History of Europe

Did the US ever ratify Treaty of Versailles?

The United States did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was signed on June 28, 1919, by representatives of the Allied and Associated Powers and Germany, ending World War I. However, the United States Senate failed to ratify the treaty, primarily due to opposition to Article 10, which required the signatories to defend the territorial integrity and political independence of all other signatories. The treaty also faced opposition from isolationists, who believed that the U.S. should not be involved in European affairs, and from Irish-Americans, who objected to the treaty's provisions regarding Ireland.
