    Since the first World War, the Americans became aware of the “merchants of death” and became more determined than ever to avoid foreign wars. Moreover, they were in middle of the reconstruction from the Great Depression and the problems abroad was over the nation’s capacity. As American isolationism expanded, it influenced President Roosevelt’s foreign policy toward neutrality to keep the United States out of future wars. However, when World War II erupted in war-mad Europe, many Americans insisted on the morality of U.S. neutrality and attempted to support their friend, Great Britain, in a nominal to protect the democracies of the world. Therefore, the isolationists’ charge of Franklin Roosevelt with deception in his policies are valid to some extent since the “neutral” acts were intended to support the Allies.…

    During 1934, Congress and the American public accepted economic interventions with various Latin American countries but the public was increasingly resistant to diplomatic initiatives that might result in political entanglements. In part, the growing support for political isolationism reflected disillusionment with American participation in World War I. As a result, the Neutrality Act of 1935 was passed and imposed an embargo on arms trading with countries at war.…

    1. Until quite recently, most American history textbooks taught that before Europeans invaded the Americas Indians were savages who lived in isolated groups and had so little impact on their environment that it remained a pristine wilderness. We now know from scientific discoveries that this account was wrong. What is the effect of learning that most of what we have assumed about the past is "wrong in almost every aspect," as Mann puts it on page 4?…

    Recalling the horrors of World War, I and beset by a demoralizing economic recession at home, many Americans embraced "Isolationism," or what historians call independent-internationalism." (pg.114 reader) America's main purpose was to reestablish social order. In 1933, Franklin D Roosevelt became president of the U.S and reinstated the position of America in foreign policy with the integration of his "Good Neighbor" strategy from 1933-1945. FDR said, "I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors" (Pg. 370 TAA)…

    Shortly after the capitulation of Germany at the end of WWI, Wilson, then president of the United States proposed the fourteen points, a document that would heavily influence the Treaty of Versailles and the creation of the League of Nations, the first international system to have been put into place. However, Wilson did not have the consent of the then Republican dominated senate, which refused to join the League of Nations, therefore rendering it useless. This is first and foremost the prime example of American Isolationism during the 20th century. Following WWI, the US refused to take place in international affairs and desired to remain a neutral state, isolated from European and Asian affairs and conflicts. Furthermore, FDR’s good neighbor policy offers a strong isolationist stance with Latin America, in attempts to clear its past of interventionism and open new trading routes and alliances.…
