In short though, the Monroe Doctrine and tradition based off of Washington's Farewell address proved powerful forces in maintaining America's policy of keeping Europe at arms length.

Actually, the Spanish-American war had that effect. As part of the treaty ending the war, the US wound up in charge of the Philippines. Having control of such a far-away possession drastically reduced the isolationism.
WW1 actually had the opposite effect. Americans quickly concluded that our involvement in the war was due to pressure from corrupt business influences, and that we really had no business in Europe's problem. This is why it took a direct attack to get us in WW2, despite Hitler's obvious evils, even then.
