The U.S. geographic distance from Europe and Asia facilitated a sense of isolationism by allowing Americans to focus on domestic issues without immediate threats from foreign conflicts. This separation made it easier to adopt a non-interventionist stance, especially after the devastation of World War I, as many citizens were wary of becoming entangled in European affairs again. The vast Atlantic and Pacific Oceans acted as natural barriers, reinforcing the belief that the U.S. could remain detached from international conflicts and prioritize its own interests. This sentiment contributed to a reluctance to participate in global alliances or interventions during the interwar period.
