A promise to marry. In practice for millenia. Not sure what this has to do with foreign policy. That sould be 600 BCE, but I can't get it to work.
-
America gets revolting. We wanna break off ties from a foreign ruler.
-
Washington warns against Political Parties and Alliances. We will go on to thumb our noses at him and listen to neither warning.
-
They would go on until 1815, I guess. I don't really know what this has to do with foreign policy, but it certainly wasn't us minding our own business.
-
We did an embargo on someone, presumably. This is more in keeping with the isolationist stuff, I think.
-
Happened in 1812 as a result of the embargo act. Kinda backfired on us there.
-
Banned Europe from messing about in America. Again, more on the isolationist side of matters.
-
Lasted till 1848. We stole a large chunk Mexico. GO US! Not very isolation-y.
-
The idea that America gets ALL of America. No sharing. Kind of isolation-y?
-
I guess we fought Cuba AND Spain? Yeah. We've pretty much abandoned all pretense of isolationism.
-
Yup. We just took it. Not very isolation-y at all.
-
Says America will intervene in Latin American/European conflict (when economically convenient, presumably) as a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.
-
Lasted till 1918. The whole world. In a war. Needless to say, we got involved.
-
"Isolationism" kept us out of the world wars till later. Doesn't stop us from taking credit.
-
Ended in 1945. We did it again, this time punctuated by nuclear explosions. Finally the image is relevent.
-
Nuclear Chicken 'tween USA an USSR. Fun times.
-
Exacerbated the Cold War.
-
Started the cold war.
-
"War" in Vietnam. It happened. It sucked. Moving on.
-
Geopolitical confilct. USA. USSR. COLD WAR. SAME OLD STORY. WHY AM I YELLING?
-
Yeah. Isolationism was a thing in the past. For like 2 seconds.
-
Yeah. It was a bad time.
-
Further bad times. Reactionary bad times. Ongoing.
