The United States of America was commonly called "isolationist" in the 1920s, but that is not really true. America made many foreign policies and even acted as an intermediary in foreign affairs. President Woodrow Wilson wanted to make a council of countries and led a big effort to make that happen. The United States of America even picked sides in WWI. Check out "Woodrow Wilson and His Efforts to Join World War I" for more info.


The myth of The United States being isolationist was started by future Presidents wanting to rewrite the narrative and make themselves seem more like the type to take action and defend their country. The best way to make themself look more like that was to make past America look isolationist, and the new America would be the America of action.
