Isolationism
Throughout its history, it was Britain which prided itself for its
splendid isolation - ostensibly aloof and detached from the petty
squabbles of continental countries across the channel. Yet, the record
is held not by the United Kingdom but by the United states. It was
established in 1776 - yet the first time an American president ever
visited Europe while in office was in 1918. In the wake of the first
world war, Woodrow Wilson left Washington to participate in the peace
negotiations. He stayed in Europe for 6 months to the great chagrin
and consternation of his countrymen.
