LAD/Blog #7: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality

Summary:

The Proclamation of Neutrality (1783), being America's first foreign policy, states that the United States shall stay neutral and passive if two other powers such as Prussia and Great Britain engage in a war and ask for U.S. intervention (pretty much neutral in foreign affairs). Washington also warns against any fellow American trying to help an abroad power, threading criminal punishment as well.

This reminds me of the U.S. policy of neutrality during WWII before the Pearl Harbor attack, as American tried to stay neutral until they were forced to get involved in the war.
