          As I expected, the Treaty of Versailles was once again declined by Congress during voting. In fact, the second time around brought about even worse results for President Wilson. His difficulty to compromise or work with Senate caused any remaining, loyal Democrats to disagree with his proposal. They ultimately feared that the United States would be left with no treaty, so 21 of the Democrats voted to accept the fourteen amendments from the reservationists. Yet the outcome for the modified treaty was still closer than anticipated. Even with support from some Democrats, it fell seven votes short of the two-thirds approval required to ratify. Now we can only hope all this business and hassle that came along with the Treaty of Versailles will finally come to an end.
