First off this was a terrible decision on the U. S parts.

Explanation:

But, the reason why Congress refused to sign off on the bill to become a member of the League was due to isolationism. Which was the foreign policy of staying neutral. Most americans felt like they didn't want the U. S actively participating in foreign countries. But as we all know this was a disaster for the League since they were to rely heavily on the U. S as a leader. During WWII it was obvious the League was too timid to stop German military advancements and held no power over world peace.
