History of the foreign policy of the United States

The major themes in the history of the United States foreign policy since the American Revolution are: becoming an "Empire of Liberty", promoting democracy, expanding across the continent, supporting liberal internationalism, contesting World Wars and the Cold War, fighting international terrorism, developing the Third World, and building a strong world economy with low tariffs (but high tariffs in 1861–1933).
