What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Wilson made a serious blunder when he failed to take any prominent Republican politicians to Paris with him to negotiate the peace treaty, since the Republicans had gained a majority in the Senate in the election of 1918. Personality differences between Wilson and Lodge, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made it difficult for them to resolve their differences concerning the League of Nations. When Wilson suffered a stroke, those supporting the League lost their most valuable leader.
