Answer/Explanation:

A traditional war is where two or more countries are fighting each other directly, like WWI or WW2. Traditional wars are (as they sound) traditional. These are how most wars were fought throughout history. A proxy war is where a war is instigated by one or more major powers but the major power itself does not actually get involved.

A good example would be the Cold War. The Cold War had many proxy wars within it; for example the Vietnam war. In the Vietnam war, the North was communist and the south was not. The Russians (USSR) was supplying North Vietnam and the Viet Cong (VC) with training and weaponry such as guns, tanks, planes, etc. But Russia (The USSR) never actually fought in the war itself, while America and their plan to contain communism, went and fought directly in Vietnam.

Answer:

In his farewell address, President George Washington warn against becoming overly involved with foreign politics.

Explanation:

In his Farewell Address, Washington warned against foreign influence in domestic affairs and US interference in European affairs. He warned against bitter partisanship in domestic politics and urged men to go beyond partisanship and serve the common good. He warned against "permanent alliances with any part of the outside world," and said the United States should focus primarily on American interests. He advised friendship and trade with all nations, but cautioned against participating in European wars and entering into long-term "entanglements" of alliances.

The Farewell Address quickly established the values of America regarding religion and foreign affairs.
