United States foreign policy between the First World War and the Second World War was characterized by a commitment to isolationism and non-interventionism. This policy was driven by a desire to avoid the mistakes of World War I, which the US had entered reluctantly, and the subsequent failure of the peace process. This policy was reflected in the passage of a series of Neutrality Acts and the rejection of the League of Nations. In addition, the US sought to promote economic and cultural ties with other countries, though it maintained a largely hands-off approach to international affairs.
