2Also, Japan & the USA (among others) signed treaties, specifically the 9 power treaty and Shandong treaties to limit further Japanese expansion into China and maintain the status-quo open door policies and then Japan violated these agreements. Violating treaties doesnt usually go over well with the American govt or public.ed.hank– ed.hank2021-08-26 12:43:44 +00:00Commented Aug 26, 2021 at 12:43

3The degree to which the US was 'isolationist' outside of Europe tends to be overstated. "Guam, the Philippines, Hawaii and sundry" wouldn't be US possessions if it wasn't fairly expansionist in the Pacific.timeskull– timeskull2021-08-27 14:09:46 +00:00Commented Aug 27, 2021 at 14:09

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. world-war-two), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
