US foreign policy from Wilson to Biden, a video 2x2
I created this video because of the great response to my original "Post-Cold War" 2x2 image

For those interested, here is an image of the final 2x2 
Some notes:
- "Early F.D.R" refers to his first two terms
- "Late F.D.R." refers to his second two terms
- Some might be surprised that W & Wilson are in the same cell. The more I've researched Wilson, the more I'm convinced he was NOT the ideal "liberal internationalist".

More notes:
- I think "F.D.R.", Truman, and H.W. Bush *wanted* to be in the "Reluctant America" cell, but circumstances moved them into the "Team America" cell.
- Coolidge was surprisingly "internationalist", particularly for someone who wasn't super into foreign policy.

Even more notes:
- I started with Wilson because of how WWI transformed America's place in the world. But if I went back further, I think:
-- Taft is "America First"
-- T Roosevelt & McKinley might have been "America, F**k Yeah"
-- Most of Pre-McKinley is "America First"
