Autorenporträt

Henry Cabot Lodge was an American Republican leader, historian, and statesman from Massachusetts. He was born May 12, 1850, and died November 9, 1924. Since 1893 to 1924, he was in the US Senate. He is best known for his views on foreign affairs. The United States never joined the League of Nations because of his successful campaign against Woodrow Wilson's Treaty of Versailles. His concerns about that treaty also had an effect on how the modern United Nations is set up. Lodge was a well-known academic who got four degrees from Harvard University. His close friendship with Theodore Roosevelt began in 1884 and lasted their whole lives, even after Roosevelt left the Republican Party in 1912. As a representative, Lodge pushed for the failed Lodge Bill of 1890, which would have protected African Americans' right to vote and set up a national secret ballot. As a senator, Lodge was more involved in foreign affairs. He backed the Spanish-American War, the growth of American territory abroad, and the United States' entry into World War I. He was also in favor of limiting immigration. He joined the Immigration Restriction League and had an impact on the Immigration Act of 1917.
