2, Explain that isolationism was chosen out of fear that alliances with European countries could entangle the nation in overseas wars or draw wars to the North American continent.
3, Discuss how industrialization and the expansion of trade and investment abroad in the early twentieth century created economic ties to Europe that forced America to adopt a policy of internationalism in order to protect its interests abroad.
