Question 12

Were American isolationists in the 1920s and 1930s a recent phenomena or did their thinking fit into traditional American ideas regarding foreign policy? Justify your response.

Accepted Answer

American isolationism in the 1920s and 1930s was not a recent phenomenon, but rather fit into traditional American ideas regarding foreign policy. Isolationism has been a recurring theme in American history, dating back to the country's founding. The idea of avoiding entanglement in foreign conflicts and focusing on domestic issues has been present since the days of George Washington's Farewell Address.

During the 1920s and 1930s, the United States had just emerged from World War I, which had been a divisive and costly conflict. Many Americans were disillusioned by the experience and were wary of becoming involved in another foreign war. This sentiment was reflected in the passage of legislation such as the Neutrality Acts, which aimed to prevent the US from being drawn into future conflicts.

Furthermore, the traditional American belief in exceptionalism and the idea of a "city upon a hill" also contributed to isolationist thinking. Many Americans believed that the US had a unique and special role in the world, and that it should focus on setting an example for others rather than getting involved in the affairs of other nations.

Overall, American isolationism in the 1920s and 1930s was not a recent phenomenon, but rather a continuation of traditional American ideas regarding foreign policy. The desire to avoid foreign entanglements and focus on domestic issues has been a consistent theme in American history, and it was reflected in the isolationist policies of the interwar period.
