Etymology

The term 'isolationist' originated in the early 20th century as a political descriptor for those advocating a policy of isolationism, particularly in the context of U.S. foreign relations. It gained prominence in the 1930s, especially among those who opposed entering World War II. The root word 'isolation' comes from the Latin 'insulatus', meaning 'made into an island', which reflects the central idea of being separated from external influences. Throughout history, isolationism has manifested in various forms, influencing countries' foreign policies and relationships, and it has often risen in response to global conflicts or perceived threats.
