What provision of the Treaty of Versailles brought the most opposition in the United States?

Select one:

a. joining the League of Nations

b. forcing Germany to pay reparations

c. increasing national self-determination

d. creating more colonies for Great Britain and France

B. Forcing Germany to pay reparations. This action later is a cause of world war two because since Germany wasn't financially able to pay for all the damage done during the war they spiraled into a deep depression until Hitler came along and promised to get the government out of the depression.

B. forcing Germany to pay reparations. The USA opposed to the Treaty of Versailles saying that Germany had to pay $6,600,000,000 for the reparations of the damage of Europe. USA President, Woodrow Wilson, opposed because he as well as most of the people/countries involved in the Treaty knew that this was far too much for a single country to pay (some believe that this settlement for Germany in the Treaty was the main reason the Second World War began, amongst other factors), and can I add that even in those days, Billions of dollars almost didn't exist it was so rare. But, it would have been political suicide to disagree, and so President Woodrow Wilson/USA agreed anyway, despite his personal opinion.
