1) The US public realized after 1918 what the cost in terms of money of US participation in WW 1 had been; 2) the US feared that the conflict-prone European countries might otherwise drag them into another war sooner or later; 3) US public - and especially the Trade Unions - feared that Immigration was keeping wages down; 4) the rise of socialism and communism in Europe - and a continued inflow of immigrants from socialist/communist-ruled countries - was seen as a direct threat to the fabric of US society; 5) active intervention in Latin American affairs was no longer seen as necessary to protect direct US interests.

Why is foreign policy so important?

The world is increasingly inter-connected or "globalized" as some might say. We are no longer a handful of individual states. In large part we rely on one another for both economic and military support. How the rest of the world views one state is very important. Harsh foreign policy is often coupled with military action or economic embargoes. One might suggest that we shouldn't be complicated with foreign policy and not deal with the complications of other countries and become isolationist. What these people don't realize is that the very act of becoming isolationist is in fact foreign policy.
