America Foreign Policy 1939 Present
383 wordsQuestion: How has the need for military security and the protection of democratic ideals shaped American foreign policy since 1939? Isolationism is a policy of having little to do with the affairs of foreign nations. Despite few occasions, America always did its best to remain neutral in times of war, only to be involved when it came to a point where it could no longer refuse.
