Defending Non-Interventionism

Whenever I debate the original American foreign policy of non-interventionism with an advocate of America’s 20th Century foreign policy of interventionism I am confronted with the statement that World War II occurred because America returned to its policy of “isolationism” after World War I. They argue that our failure to adopt the Versailles Treaty and to join the League of Nations allowed Hitler to come to power and eventually conquer Europe after the appeasement of Great Britain and France.

  1. For a compelling look at the Treaty of Versailles and its immense consequences down to the present day, DO have a look at my fascinating new book — “A Shattered Peace: Versailles 1919 and the Price We Pay Today” published by Wiley and available at Amazon.com and most bookstores !
    The author (myself) — executive editor of Forbes.com and a veteran foreign correspondent for The New York Times and CBS News is also available for speeches and lectures!
    Best,
