Abstract
Americans often identify themselves as peace-loving. Foreign policy has been an essential
part of the nation’s development since the 18th century. External existence played a crucial role in
the birth of the Americas. Throughout history, the U.S has taken a distinct approach towards
foreign policy by actively engaging in foreign affairs. This paper introduces the historical
background of the U.S foreign policy and diplomacy inclusive of the guiding principles of
American policy. In addition, the paper discusses Truman’s administration with a specific focus
on the policy of containment, the Marshall Plan and the civil wars in Greece, China, and Korea. In
addition, the paper discusses the Eisenhower Administration with a focus on the rise of
“brinksmanship” and the advancement of the cold war as a global threat. The paper finalizes with
the Kennedy Administration with a focus on the major changes of his presidency.
