===Isolationism===
===Isolationism===
The Republican party had an isolationist wing led by Senator [[Robert A. Taft]]. During World War II, the internationalist wing of the GOP gained strength, as former isolationist [[Arthur Vandenberg]] switched sides. The leaders of the anti-isolationist or "internationalist" wing were [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] (president 1952–60), and [[Richard Nixon]] (president 1968–74). Conservative leader [[Barry Goldwater]] in 1964 rejected isolationism and called for an aggressive [[Rollback]] strategy to defeat Communism, a policy followed by [[Ronald Reagan]] (president 1980–88).
