Isolationism began with Washington's Farewell Address and the Monroe doctrine. It was said that the US should keep to themselves and not interfere with the issues of others.

But then they began to desire trade with other countries and economic growth. This gradual process began when the US first wanted to trade with Japan. Expansionism then began and the US became one of the top powers by taking over Hawaii, the Samoan Islands, Cuba (Platt Amendment), Puerto Rico. And Roosevelt's corollary to the Monroe Doctrine kept order in Latin America, however it was seen as bullying by the rest of the world.

The final move to internationalism, rather than basic expansionism, came as the result of the Japanese attack on an unprepared Pearl Harbor, the general experience of World War II, and the Cold War.
