Concept note-2: -isolationism, national policy of avoiding political or economic entanglements with other countries.

Concept note-3: -One example of isolationism is China. China cut itself off from the world in the fifteenth century and generally tried to stay isolated from that point forward. While China had sent out huge expeditions in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, no more expeditions sailed later on.

Concept note-4: -Isolationists advocated non-involvement in European and Asian conflicts and non-entanglement in international politics.
