Rob and Ruairi delve into the historical complexities of U.S. foreign policy, debunking the widely held belief in American isolationism. While textbooks often portray the United States as a nation that kept to itself, the reality is far more nuanced.

🌎 Exploring the Myths:

• Native American Territories: The hosts examine how early European settlers interacted with Native American tribes. Rather than isolation, they reveal a dynamic exchange of ideas, resources, and conflict.
• Spanish Territories: From the acquisition of Florida to the Mexican-American War, the U.S. expanded its borders by absorbing Spanish territories. But was this truly isolationist behavior?

🔍 Unmasking the Motives:

• Economic Interests: The allure of trade, resources, and markets drove American expansion. The hosts discuss how economic interests often clashed with isolationist rhetoric.
• Geopolitical Realities: The U.S. faced external threats, necessitating strategic alliances and territorial acquisitions. The Louisiana Purchase and the Oregon Trail come into focus.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Isolationism is a myth perpetuated by oversimplified narratives.
• America’s actions were shaped by pragmatism, ambition, and global context.
• Join Rob and Ruairi as they unravel the threads of history, challenging conventional wisdom and shedding light on the hidden engagements that shaped the nation.
