Question

Which word best describes early American foreign policy? A.) internationalism B.) imperialism C.) isolationism D.) militarism

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) isolationism.

Early American foreign policy would probably be considered around the early 19th century. This time period in American histoy was focused more on developing a consistent government structure under the US Constitution, expanding US power and influence westward in the North American continent, and the developing new states. At this time, the US could not afford nor was interested in getting involved in foreign affairs after the Americans experience during the American Revolution.
