The American public were against Woodrow’s campaign to make the US a part of the League of Nations, this was a natural reaction to war weariness. America joined the war late and therefore had far less casualties than other nations involved, it totalled to some 21 million casualties, and this was enough to turn Americans against ‘Europe’s war’. They didn’t want to be involved in anything. The long months of diplomatic issues in the conferences meant that people were less excited than they were in 1919. People tended to focus on domestic issues such Prohibition and those who opposed American entanglement abroad had the chance to be heard.
