Following WWII, the United States came to the realization that a policy of isolationism and general neutrality was insufficient for world affairs. The United States, following the war, adopted the Truman Doctrine policy of containment. Thus, the U.S. sought to contain communism and prevent it from spreading. This required the U.S. to become greatly involved in world affairs, propping up questionable or nefarious regimes simply to prevent them from falling to Soviet communism. These interventionist policies led to U.S. involvement in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War as well as numerous small scale conflicts such as incursions into various Central American countries and the bombing of Libya, invasion of Grenada and others.

The United States was neutral & had a mostly "isolationist" foreign policy. The United States government and American people did not want to get involved in the world's problems. That kind of foreign policy works only when none of the countries in the world pose a danger to the United States or its interests. Guess what? That world doesn't exist!! That is why the United States has taken a pro-active role in the world, since WW2.
