🔴 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 **The Disappearance of Self-Determination from the League of Nations Covenant, January–February 1919**

_“This article argues that Wilson fought for inclusion of both the phrase ‘self-determination’ and the substance of it but was convinced to remove both by his own advisers and members of the British delegation. These men had an agenda at variance with Wilson’s, one focused on solidifying wartime transatlantic co-operation into a post-war governance model that would strengthen the British imperial position and bring the US into support of it.”_
