Foreign Policy
Setting a Course of Expansionism
Foreign Policy: Set of goals, principles, and
practices that guide a nation in its relations with other countries.
U.S. Foreign Policy
• Our foreign policy was shaped by both realists and idealists during the 1800s.
• Starting with George Washington and his “farewell address” from office, we followed a policy of isolationism for almost a century.
George Washington’s Farewell Address
• He said “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.”
Government’s Role in Foreign Policy
• President is advised by The State Department (led by the Secretary of State)
• Congress votes on Foreign policy issues.
• A treaty does not become legally binding unless the Senate approves it by 2/3 vote.
4 Foreign Policy Options
Diplomacy Neutrality
Isolationism
Financial Aid
Armed Force
The art of conducting negotiations with other nations
-The policy of not taking sides in wars between other nations. -Staying out of it
Helping a country with monetary help, such as grants or loans
Threat or use of military
Realism vs IdealismShape U.S. foreign policy
Realism: • Is based on the belief
that relations with other countries should be guided by national self-interest. Do what is best for America.
Idealism:• Is based on the belief
that values and ideals should influence how countries relate to one another. Do what’s better to ensure a better world, not just a better America.
In the case of getting involved with France and Great Britain:
• Idealists believed we should get involved to help France in their struggle for liberty.
• After all, we had signed a treaty of alliance with them during our War of Independence.
• Realists believed we should stay out of it: – Our army was not
strong enough – If the British
blocked our ports it would cripple our already wobbly economy
Our neutrality was challenged and led to the War of 1812
• As a neutral country, we can not aid either warring nation, or give them places to use as a base of operation
• As a neutral country, we may also have the right to freedom from fear of being attacked and freedom to trade with each nation.
• When these freedoms were challenged, President James Madison asked Congress for a declaration of war against Britain.
• War of 1812 lasted more than two years until the Treaty of Ghent.
War of 1812
Monroe Doctrine Bans Colonization
• The declaration by President James Monroe in 1823 warning European powers against future colonization in the Western Hemisphere or interference in Latin American republics.
– This was a combination of non-colonization & non-interference.
Monroe DoctrineHow does this picture reflect the Monroe Doctrine?

• Bought Alaska from Russia: 1867
Expansion through Military Force
• Americans settlers in Texas fought a war with Mexico to gain independence in what was known as the Texas Revolution.
• In 1845, Texas was annexed (added to the U.S.) and was admitted to the Union as a slave state.
Military Force Continued• In 1846, President Polk instigated a war
between the U.S. and Mexico over the border between Texas and Mexico.
• The Mexican War ended in a U.S. victory. Mexico was forced to give a huge area of land from Texas to California, for $15 million
