Isolationism was first stated as a goal for the United States by George Washington, who said that it should pursue "liberal intercourse with all nations." This was to prevent the young nation from loosing its newly found freedom. Since it was coined by Washington, there have been many answers to the reason for isolationism. Several reasons are: 1. protection of a country from foreign involvement or attacks 2. maintainence of a weak country which cannot afford foreign influence 3. prevention of dispute between trading partners 4. ability to expand the economy of the "isolated" country by remaining neutral in the wars of other countries, such as the U.S. at the begining of WWI. NOTE: Isolationism does not mean that a country remains completely isolated from other countries, but that it wishes to avoid entering treaties that will cause alliances or military agreements.
