5 TRADITIONAL UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY WAS ISOLATIONIST “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world” PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1796

Isolationism Imperialism Tried to stay out of European affairs after the Civil War. But: Due to rising exports, manufacturing capabilities, power and wealth – began to expand onto world stage.

Reasons for Imperialism: Manifest Destiny – it is God’s will for U.S. to expand. Darwin’s theory – “survival of the fittest” – to mean that the U.S. was the fittest and needed to take over other nations to improve them. Alfred Thayer Mahan – wrote The Influence of Sea Power Upon History – argued that every successful nation had a great navy.
