I believe that the US's involvement in the Great War set a precedent that the US can and should involve itself in international affairs. We were convinced that we had a military good enough to hold its own against other world powers. We also formed bonds with nations such as Britain and France.
If we had stayed out of WW1 I believe that we would have kept our noses out of other international events as well. One major event I believe we would have sidestepped was the 2nd Japanese-Sino War. I don't think there would be enough support to cut off trade with Japan, one of the main causes of the Pacific War. This would also make the case for a European War more difficult.
