Question

how did the actions of congress following world war i impact the vision of president wilson for post - war security and the global order?
the senate refused to ratify the treaty of versailles, ensuring that the united states would not join the league of nations.
the house limited trade with non - allies, preventing the united states from helping to restore the european economy.
the house authorized the deployment of additional troops to the philippines, seeking to limit efforts at independence.
the senate confirmed an ambassador to the new soviet union, encouraging closer ties with the new nation.

Explanation:

President Wilson's vision for post - war security and global order included the League of Nations as a key institution. The Treaty of Versailles was the vehicle for the United States to join the League. When the Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, it directly undermined Wilson's vision. The League of Nations was seen as a way to prevent future wars through collective security and international cooperation. Without the United States (a major power) as a member, the League's effectiveness was severely limited.

Option B: Limiting trade with non - allies was not a major factor in undermining Wilson's vision of post - war security and global order. Wilson's focus was more on diplomatic and security - related international institutions rather than just economic restoration in Europe.

Option C: Deploying troops to the Philippines was a colonial - related action and not directly related to Wilson's vision of post - war security and global order centered around the League of Nations.

Option D: The United States was hostile to the Soviet Union in the early post - World War I period (due to ideological differences - communism vs. capitalism). Confirming an ambassador to the Soviet Union was not a step that would have been taken at this time, and even if it were, it was not central to Wilson's vision of the League - based global order.

Answer:

A. The Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, ensuring that the United States would not join the League of Nations.
