The USA was not a member of the league

The USA had insisted that the allies would pay their war loans in full without a waiver, since they had insisted that France would pay the full reparations

The USA was practicing isolationism at that time and refused to interfere with international disputes

The Us had made separate agreements with Germany in the 1920s to improve both nations trades and relations such as the Dawes 1924 and Young Plans 1929

France was not very comfortable with the US relations with Germany because it had expected the US to guarantee its security in Europe against the German threat but this did not happen. The US-Franco treaty could not be approved and secured after the treaties had been signed in Paris. France's hope for the US security failed.

Britain was not ready to send army anywhere in the world to settle disputes. On this note, it isolated France in most of then post war crises, e.g the Ruhr invasion 1913. This made France scared and conscious of its security

Russia was not a member of the League and was seen as a major enemy because of its ideology , Communism and was not invited to the Paris Peace Conference by her former allies Britain and the USA

HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL

Of course it could have been avoided. a great many scholars argue it happened because of truman's use of fear to gain support. his predecessor fdr was the most popular and charismatic president ever. truman was a machine politician chosen as the least offensive choice around for vp. had henry wallace remained vp and then president, the cold war might not have happened. or had dewey been defeated in the primaries by robert taft, and then taft defeated truman in 48, the cold war also might not have happened. taft was somewhat isolationist, opposing nato and the korean war. wallace believed truman to be unnecessarily provocative in his dealings with the soviets.of course for strong anti communists, they claim the soviets would see any sign of weakness and try to take over the world. but this is a conspiracy theory not backed by evidence. most communist movements were local and not controlled by moscow. stalin had just lost over 20 million people and was exhausted and paranoid. his number one fear was a rearmed germany allied with the us, and truman made his nightmare real with the marshall plan. truman's blunders are at least half responsible for the cold war and neither wallace nor taft would have made them.on top of that, stalin was dying and in poor health. his successor khrushchev was a reformer who ended the forced labor camps, set many political prisoners free, criticized stalin, and declined to build a powerful soviet navy to confront the us. stalin actually proposed a neutral united germany. a paranoid american gov't turned him down, guaranteeing a continued cold war for decades more.
