After the Second World War, the United States would never stay at home again. All around the world, the US would protect democracies, big and small, all over. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Cuba, and Latin America are just some regions in the world that the US did or attempted to get involved. Twenty years of US foreign policy before the Second World War was completely changed. US interventionism was an integral part of global history after the second world war. 

Imagine a world where the United States decided to take a step back and for the most part, mind its own business in reference to international affairs. Would the Soviets still fund communist rebellions in nations across the world and encourage North Korea to invade the South for example? 

Would the United Nations even be a thing? NATO? Would the United States be involved anywhere, or would they be isolationist and just keep to themselves.
