National Isolationist League

The National Isolationist League was a political movement in early 20th-century America that promoted the idea of avoiding international involvement and focusing on domestic issues. Its members believed that the United States should stay out of foreign alliances, wars, and global politics to prioritize national interests and safety. They were skeptical of international organizations like the League of Nations and large foreign commitments, advocating instead for greater independence in decision-making. Essentially, the league reflected a broader wave of isolationist sentiment, emphasizing sovereignty and caution in engaging with international affairs.
