Answer: Isolation
Explanation:
When George Washington stepped down as President, he advised the nation to maintain a policy of isolation from the rest of the world especially Europe, so that the country could have a chance to grow without conflict.
The United States generally followed this policy up until 1898 when they got involved in a war with the Spanish that saw them win and acquire overseas territory in the Philippines and Puerto Rico.
The most important reason for the United States to maintain a strong political presence in Cuba was mainly to protect American business interests on the island, as well as continuing to control the Caribbean area in the aspects of commerce and trade coming and going from the Panama Canal.
