USA HISTORY

America’s original foreign policy, under George Washington, was:

(A) Expansionism

(B) Imperialism

(C) ** Isolationism

(D) Open Door Policy

Concept note-1: -Isolationists advocated non-involvement in European and Asian conflicts and non-entanglement in international politics. Although the United States took measures to avoid political and military conflicts across the oceans, it continued to expand economically and protect its interests in Latin America.

Concept note-2: -Washington’s address argued for a careful foreign policy of friendly neutrality that would avoid creating implacable enemies or international friendships of dubious value, nor entangle the United States in foreign alliances.
