    What country did not join the League?

    • USA

    • Britain

    • France

    • Italy

    Correct Answer
    A. USA
    Explanation
    The United States did not join the League of Nations. This was mainly due to the opposition from the US Senate, which believed that joining the League would threaten American sovereignty and independence. Additionally, there were concerns about being drawn into future conflicts and the League's ability to enforce its decisions. As a result, the US pursued a policy of isolationism and did not become a member of the League of Nations.
