must ratify any treaty for it to be legal• 1918 – Democrats
(Wilson’s political party) lose the mid-term elections

who want to reject the Treaty of Versailles

explanations!!!!!• Ex. Canada is better than Italy
▫Canada makes better pizza▫Canada is bigger▫Canada has a lower unemployment
rate. For example, unemployment in Italy is 12% (July 2015) while Canada’s is 6.5% (July 2014).
