What is Isolationism

history we consider Isolationism as the time when we were neutral in the midst of all the commotion throughout the rest of the world. We took no part in world affairs and even denied our membership to the League of Nations at one point to avoid facing any involvement with belligerent countries. While these may be true, in actuality Isolationism in American history is when Republican presidents Harding (1921-1923) and Coolidge (1923-1929) had embraced foreign policy as a way to exclude the United States from the world and use economic and diplomatic doctrines to become self- reliant.
