The following quote is from Washington's Farewell Address: "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are

now at liberty to do."

Neutrality and Isolationism!!!

This was the point that Washington made a long, long time ago. This point was actually brought up by the supporters of the Nazi party in the United Stated before the U.S. got involved in WW2. It’s quite interesting that Washington’s quote about isolationism would be used to support the nazis though...

Hope this helps, have a great day!
