The US followed isolationism after WW1 because the public didn't want to be apart of another war which concerned Europe, and a war looked inevitable. Although the US hadn't suffered nearly as much as France or Britain as a result of WW1, the public felt that their troops shouldn't die because of a war in Europe. Because the US is a democracy, the government had to follow public opinion.
This is my understanding of it, hope it helped:)
