The evidence that supports the view of isolationism in American foreign policy during the 1920s includes the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924, which severely restricted immigration to the United States and reflected a desire to limit foreign influence. Additionally, the United States did not join the League of Nations, a key international organization aimed at promoting peace and cooperation among nations. The Dawes Plan of 1924, which aimed to address German reparations from World War I, also reflected a focus on domestic economic concerns rather than international cooperation.
However, it can be argued that American foreign policy during the 1920s was not as isolationist as it first appears. For example, the United States continued to engage in economic relations with other countries, particularly through trade and investment. The Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928, in which the United States and other nations renounced war as a means of resolving disputes, also demonstrated a willingness to participate in international efforts for peace. Additionally, the United States played a role in the Washington Naval Conference of 1921-1922, which aimed to limit naval armaments and reduce tensions among major powers.
Overall, while there were certainly elements of isolationism in American foreign policy during the 1920s, there were also instances of international engagement and cooperation that suggest a more nuanced approach to foreign relations during this time.

The Washington Conference, Kellogg-Briand Pact, and Stimson Doctrine each fell short of ensuring American national security in different ways.
The Washington Conference of 1921-1922 aimed to prevent a naval arms race and reduce tensions in the Pacific, but it did not address the underlying issues that led to conflict in the region. It also did not effectively prevent Japan from expanding its influence in East Asia, ultimately failing to prevent the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific.
The Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 was an international agreement to renounce war as a means of settling disputes, but it lacked any enforcement mechanism. As a result, it did not prevent aggressive actions by countries such as Japan, Italy, and Germany in the years leading up to World War II.
The Stimson Doctrine of 1932, which stated that the United States would not recognize any territorial changes resulting from the use of force, was ineffective in preventing Japanese expansion in East Asia. The doctrine did not deter Japan from invading Manchuria in 1931 or from further aggression in the region.
Overall, while these diplomatic efforts aimed to promote peace and security, they ultimately fell short in preventing the rise of aggressive powers and the outbreak of World War II, and therefore did not fully ensure American national security.
