George Washington’s foreign policy

Learning a lot about politics, Washington addresses America to grow freely by trading with other countries without getting involved in the issues of the countries. George explains, "Expand our trading relations with other nations, but have as little political connection as possible with foreign nations.” I think the idea is great but sometimes America has a hard time coping with it. Say for instance during WWI, America didn’t want to intervene so they stuck to trading war supplies to the allied forces. Though after the Zimmerman Telegram was accidently found and the Lusitania was sunken, America had entered the war. I do believe it took a rightful side on the war, but it did not stay neutral. The facts remain that sometimes staying neutral is just not what America does.

I believe America wishes to change other countries as well. It has been a long term goal for some politicians, to create the same democratic government in America to be available in other countries. The problem is that most other countries are hardheaded and will not change the government. For example Egypt currently after 20 or so years has finally changed its government. Egypt’s president steps down from 2 decades of rule after an 18 day protest.
America loves to intervene when needed, even if that intention is not fully shown from the beginning. America sends representatives to the Middle East to try and change the government there, but fails to do so. The policy made by George Washington wasn’t fully ignored but America still has the tendency to choose sides
