  1. As far as the Monroe Doctrine and isolation question? The key moment really has to be the Spanish-American War. Westward Expansion had been completed. The United States was actively getting involved in foreign affairs and Empire expansion. We built up the Navy and Theodore Roosevelt became a force for international involvement. We gain the Pacific possessions of Samoa, Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines. We joined in with other foreign powers in the put down of the Boxer Rebellion. We soon expanded our influence into Latin America first through the adventures with the Spanish-American War. The chase for Pancho Villa in Mexico. And the various banana Wars of the 1920s. Woodrow Wilson then seals the deal in 1917 joining the first World War.
