In your opinion, was U.S. policy in Asia and Latin America  between from late nineteenth century to 1914 truly isolationist?

In 1914 Woodrow Wilson proclaimed U.S. neutrality, and asked the  American people to remain “impartial in thought as well as deed.” At the  end of the war, some members of the government pushed to expand  American influence but to also remain free of any commitments, a policy  its critics referred to as isolationism.
