What opposition did president wilson’s ideas face among allied nations as well as within the united states?

Wilson outlined fourteen points that included the end of secret diplomacy, armament reductions, freedom of the seas, and the creation of an international organization with representatives of every nation to avoid any conflict escalation.

But the European allied nations were more interested in retribution than peace and Germany was forced to pay unlimited reparations.  While the Fourteen Points were all ignored, Wilson did get approval for a league of nations. However, back in the US, he encountered opposition from isolationist Republicans in Congress who thought the League could limit the country’s autonomy and drag the country into another war.
