In his farewell address, George Washington warned against forming permanent alliances with specific European countries. He advised the United States to remain impartial in foreign conflicts and avoid becoming entangled in the web of European politics. Washington believed that such alliances would compromise American interests and lead to unnecessary wars. Instead, he advocated for a policy of non-intervention and neutrality, emphasizing that the nation should focus on its domestic affairs and cultivate peaceful relations with all nations. Washington's stance on avoiding permanent alliances served as a guiding principle for American foreign policy for many years to come.
