Why did, for the most part, America adopt an isolationist foreign policy after the revolutionary war

History

Zina [86]4 years ago
5 0

An isolationist policy partially protected the new vulnerable nation as well as allowing the nation to maintain a small military.

The US was physically vulnerable following the Revolutionary War and it they were to be tangled up with a European nation in an alliance that led to war then they could lose land or even their newly formed independence. The geographic location of the US made it easier to protect the new nation and support the idea of isolation from European affairs. George Washington urged in his Farewell Address to avoid alliances with foreign powers. The military could also remain small if the US had no reason to enter into war. This was supported by the Democratic-Republicans who were fearful of a powerful federal government. Keeping the military small meant that the federal government was less likely to use it against the citizens of the country.

40 POINTS WILL GIVE BRAINLIST FOR FIRST CORRECT ANSWER  
lawyer [7]

Hi! The cultural aspects of the ciry-state impact the from of government because the greeks were in some ways independently -minded and developed a culture of individual freedom where it was considered by many a disgrace to work for someone else. This independence led the lower classes to want to participate in government, and promoted democracy - not today's representative democracy where a member of parliament is supposed to represent the citizens within an electorate, but rather direct democracy, where all the citizens met in assembly each fortnight and made decisions directly on matters put to them by a council, which latter saw to the implementation of their decisions. So I hope that help :)
