I think @wlxd is refering to both world war, where US pretended to be a neutral party while helping the allies, to a point where US directly decleared war on Germany during WW1, and Japan was being forced their hand due to US embargo
If US stay out of both world war with the reasoning of "China/France/Britain are out side of America and thus outside the responsibility of the US anyway", EU won't even exist in the first place, or called themselves the Third Reich instead
I would like to put a counter argument on this, WW2 happened not long after WW1, many argued that WW2 is the extend of WW1 and it's peace deal, but a costly war in living cultural memory doesn't stop another new war entirely, although it certainly help (USA being the isolationist and UK's appeasement policy certainly trace their root back to the costly WW1)
