It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now

at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim [principle] no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them....

Answer:

Right choice:

(3) Alliances could draw the United States into wars.

Explanation:

Since its inception, the American republic was wary of distant foreign entanglements, especially in Europe. That was the feeling of a majority in society in different times. Those attitudes changed in the 20th century, only after WWII. In the first decade of the American government of Washington, there were debates and the temptation to side with France or Britain in their contemporary wars. Washington decided to stay neutral because he knew the US was not strong enough to fight war.

aleksandrvk [35]

The correct answer is C) a nation seeking support and protection from other nations."

The option that would have benefited most from the implementation of Wilson’s Fourteen Points is "a nation seeking support and protection from other nations."

At the end of World War 1, US President Woodrow Wilson had a real interest in the total pacification of western Europe after so much conflict and destruction. The economic interests of the United States were also at risk. So on January 8, 1918, he addressed Congress to develop 14 points that he considered would allow for long-lasting peace in Europe. The speech is known as the "14 Points Speech." Among the most important points were the free navigation of the seas, the establishment of fair trade conditions between the countries, and the evacuation of Montenegro, Serbia, and Romania.
