5. Foreign Policy Setting a Course of Expansionism
Set of goals, principles, and practices that guide a nation in its relations with other countries.

6. 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.

7. 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.”

8. 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.

9. 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

10. Realism vs Idealism Shape U.S. foreign policy
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.
Realism:
Is based on the belief that relations with other countries should be guided by national self-interest. Do what is best for America.

11. 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

12. 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.

13. War of 1812

14. 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.

15. Monroe Doctrine
How does this picture reflect the Monroe Doctrine?
