History
Henry Cabot Lodge was born on May 12, 1850, in Beverly, Massachusetts.
He was an American Republican politician, historian, and statesman. In 1872, he graduated from Harvard College. In 1874, he graduated from Harvard Law School and was admitted to the bar in 1875, practising in Boston. After traveling through Europe, Lodge returned to Harvard, and in 1876, became one of the first recipients of a Ph.D. in history. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1878. In 1881, he was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society. He served in the US Senate from 1893 to 1924 and is best known for his positions on foreign policy. His successful crusade against Woodrow Wilson's Treaty of Versailles ensured that the United States never joined the League of Nations and his reservations against that treaty influenced the structure of the modern United Nations.
In 1871, he married Anna Cabot Mills Lodge (1851–1915). He died on November 9, 1924, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
