Understanding U.S. Foreign Policy: Historical Foundations and Contemporary Challenges

This overview examines the evolution of U.S. foreign policy, starting with Washington's Farewell Address in 1796, which cautioned against foreign entanglements. The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 further asserted U.S. positions against colonization in the Western Hemisphere. Fast forward to today, the U.S. has engaged in numerous military actions since World War II, raising questions about its role on the global stage. Should the U.S. intervene in crises like the situation in Syria? This analysis invites discourse on America's international responsibilities.
