FAILURE OF LON
AMERICA
Nope not gonna join!!
Germans in America being angry about LON
America was going to lose money if they kept on placing economic sanctions on others
Some feared that joining the League meant sending American soldiers to resolve other countries' conflicts (esp. small ones)
They didn't want anymore casualties after the disasters in WW1
America didn't want to join LON just to help expand the British and French Empire (America was anti-empires)
