The idea of collective security is that if all countries come together to form an alliance. Woodrow Wilson thought that collective security might prevent another world war because if any single country acted out, they would have no alliances and the rest of the world would turn against them. The League of Nations was doomed for its creation because they were missing three of the major countries in the world. The US, Russia and Germany. The US didn't join because they were practicing isolation because they wanted to stay out of world affairs so they could avoid other world wars that would involve them.

Germany lost the war so the League of Nations didn't want Germany to have any say.
