Answer:
After the American Revolution, the new United States of America sought to maintain a policy of neutrality in European affairs. The country had just fought a costly war for independence and was focused on building and strengthening its own government and economy.
However, European monarchs, particularly Britain and France, sought to involve the new nation in their ongoing conflicts and disputes. Both nations saw the United States as a potential ally and wanted to use its resources and manpower to their advantage. They also sought to use the United States as a market for their goods and as a source of food and other resources.
The United States, under the leadership of George Washington and John Adams, sought to avoid getting involved in European conflicts, but it was not easy to maintain this policy of neutrality. America's economy was highly dependent on trade with European nations and America had strong cultural and political ties to Britain which made the country susceptible to outside influences.
As the Napoleonic Wars raged on, United States adopted the Embargo Act of 1807 and later the Non-Intercourse Act of 1809, attempting to restrict trade with other nations.
In conclusion, The United States sought to maintain a policy of neutrality in European affairs after its revolution, but European monarchs continued to pressure the new nation to become involved in their disputes. The United States government attempted to maintain a policy of neutrality by restricting trade and other relations with European nations but this proved difficult to maintain in the face of economic, political and cultural ties.
