5
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.

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 Washingtons Farewell Address

• He said It is our true policy to steer clear of
  permanent alliances with any portion of the
  foreign world.

8
Governments 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 IdealismShape U.S. foreign policy

• Idealism
• Is based on the belief that values and ideals
  should influence how countries relate to one
  another. Do whats 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?
