isolationism
A foreign policy doctrine that calls for the curtailment of a nation's international relations and the avoidance of entangling alliances Isolationism constituted a key plank in the U S foreign policy approach, with a few short periods of abberation, between the War of Independence and World War II This foreign policy of nonentanglement was made possible mainly by the geopolitical detachment of the United States The ratification of the United Nations Charter by the Congress in 1945, which inaugurated an era of internationalism in U S foreign policy, brought to an effective end the era of isolationism where the United States avoided incurring any binding political obligations to other nations In fact, modern trade, communications technologies, and military weapons make isolationism a virtual impossibility for any nation in our time

National policy of avoiding political or economic entanglements with other countries. Isolationism has been a recurrent theme in U.S. history. It was given expression in the Farewell Address of Pres. George Washington and in the early 19th-century Monroe Doctrine. The term is most often applied to the political atmosphere in the U.S. in the 1930s. The failure of Pres. Woodrow Wilson's internationalism, liberal opposition to war as an instrument of policy, and the rigours of the Great Depression were among the reasons for Americans' reluctance to concern themselves with the growth of fascism in Europe. The Johnson Act (1934) and the Neutrality acts (1935) effectively prevented economic or military aid to any country involved in the European disputes that were to escalate into World War II. U.S. isolationism encouraged the British in their policy of appeasement and contributed to French paralysis in the face of the growing threat posed by Nazi Germany. See also neutrality
