B) The defeat of the Treaty of Versailles was due to the long-standing policy of isolationism, the unwillingness of Congress to amend the Constitution, and the desire of the United States to imperialize other nations.
C) Although the stubbornness and ineptitude of Wilson detracted from the possibility of the Treaty passing, the ultimate reason for its defeat was the strength of the opposition and the public opinion that they mobilized.
D) The failure of ratification was largely due to the formidability of conservatives who disliked international obligations laid out in the treaty as well as liberals who believed that the treaty did not provide for a peaceful future.
