Solution

failed
Answer

The answer is the large number of American casualties in World War I.

Explanation
Option 1: The desire to get Americans involved in world conflicts

This option is incorrect. Isolationism is characterized by a desire to avoid involvement in international conflicts and affairs, not to engage in them.

Option 2: The large number of American casualties in World War I

This option is correct. The United States experienced significant casualties during World War I, which contributed to a strong sentiment among the American public and policymakers to avoid future entanglements in foreign wars. This sentiment was a key factor in the adoption of isolationist policies in the interwar period.

Option 3: The large number of American casualties in the Spanish Civil War

This option is incorrect. The United States did not officially participate in the Spanish Civil War, so there were no American casualties that would influence isolationist policies.

Option 4: The desire to help Americans travel to foreign countries

This option is incorrect. Isolationism is not associated with encouraging foreign travel; rather, it focuses on minimizing foreign entanglements and commitments.
