Summary
Although expected to stay out of international affairs, the US calls a conference to sign a treaty to limit the size of countries armies. If they were isolated, they wouldn't care. It turns out they weren't as isolated as they had said they would be. They were dictating the size of other nations' armies. They were making many deals with countries to improve trade and other industries, the opposite of what they said they would do.

Quote
"Most leaders spend time trying to get others to think highly of them, when instead they should try to get their people to think more highly of themselves. Its wonderful when the people believe in their leader. Its more wonderful when the leader believes in their people! You cant hold a man down without staying down with him." -Booker T. Washington
