its the simple rule of divide and conquer.
The easiest ways to gain territory in the inter-war years was to threaten nations with war. After the horrors of WWI many people did not want to see the detestation of the trenches re-enacted for a few small pieces of territory. America, Britain and particularly France did want to fight another war so soon after losing millions on the fields of Flanders so both people and leaders were adverse to even getting close to making war.
who would want to know that?? I would tell you the answer...but I dont know it.lol. jk.
The Senate was not happy with the idea of the League of Nations. They felt it a threat to their checks and balances on the president.
This is a difficult question because America's policies sway with the elections every few years. In the Bush years, our foreign policy was in fact militaristic. In the Obama years, it has leaned away closer toward pacifism. The viewpoints are split along the line between militarism and pacifism. Here's one example of a militarist viewpoint in America, from a blog named American Solvent: "Appeasement and why it doesn't work".

No, Andrew Jackson was not an isolationist. While he did prioritize American interests and adopted policies that protected domestic industries, he was also willing to engage in foreign affairs and used military force to protect American interests abroad, as evidenced by his involvement in conflicts such as the Seminole Wars and the First Seminole War.

China's isolation began from physical barriers like the Gobi Desert, but kept up due to political ideals like Communism. Being isolationist allows for optimum control with little to no exterior influences. Extending isolationist policies has allowed for media control, therefore public control. Their protectionist policies have also allowed the nation to vastly expand their economy. By encouraging only exporting and limited importing, the nation has become self-reliant and built up the strongest growing economic force of the century. The economic and political benefits to China's government have encouraged them to continue mostly isolationist policies.
