__Isolationism is U.S.__
Isolationism is a national policy of abstaining from political or economic relations with other countries. This was happinging in the U.S. around the time of the 1930s. The people thought of themselfs as bystanders with all of the things going on in the world. During the time that Hitler was taking over Europe, the Americans just wanted to stay out of it all. Some of the reasons for isolationism in the U.S. are:
 * belief that the depression had been caused by W.W.I.
 * also the belief that Europe was unworthy of our support
 * pacifism—people who hated and abhorred war
 * Belief that arms manufacturers, bankers had caused war
 * Belief that W.W.I. had been a tragic mistake for the U.S.
