saw the League was a way to guarantee world peace in the future

–IrreconcilablesIrreconcilables led by William Borah wanted isolationism & refused join the League under any circumstances

integrity and existing political independence of allall Members of the League. In case of any such

aggression or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression the Councilthe Council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.

League of Nations & refused to compromise with the Senate
