Re: "avoid foreign entanglements at all costs"

Not an altogether unreasonable point of view at that time... with an ocean on either side of us, and no strategic threats (as in transatlantic aircraft... let alone ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons) that could reach us... and with England mostly the world's bule water naval power.

Plenty of investment opportunities and needs at home as well. Often whatever man-made troubles befell the rest of the world at that time, stood to benefit us by comparison....
