America First (Isolationism)

Isolationism is an aspiration, from the United States foreign policy, encouraging government intervention in world affairs. Initially, isolationism reflected the desire to keep a policy in keeping with the old colonial empires (Britain, France ...). Nevertheless, this concept has not been so by all Americans. One can notice a isolationist doctrine from the first world war. Indeed, the U.S. became involved in this battle by supplying the French and English troops. Then in 1917, the U.S. Army arrived in Europe. By 1919, isolationism becomes the official doctrine (Brian, 271-299).

The term "isolationism" in relation to foreign policy tactics of American capitalism and its ideological foundation has become widely consumed in the 20's. In this decade in power were those monopolistic groups, which under the prevailing after the First World War and the October Revolution, the alignment of forces in the world chose to "internationalism" W.
