What were two effects of isolationism on the United States?

For Number 2: By staying out of the peace keeping group, the USA left the other democracy with no power or leverage over the Aggressors of WWII. The non-intervention policy of the USA left its allies, the British and French, with no support against the superior Axis Powers. This effectively caused the fall of Paris in 1940. Along with the abandoning of their allies, the USA's isolationism created enemies. One of these enemies was Japan, who began to dislike America after the oil embargo that was put on the country during non-intervention period. This caused the Japanese to target the Americans in their bombing of Pearl Harbor. The attack from the Japanese was an indirect effect of the US isolationism. One positive effect of isolationism was the rebound of the American economy. Although the country was able to regain stability while avoiding war, the later entry put them right back to where they started, voiding one of the only positive outcomes of the policy.
