In what became known as his Farewell Address, George Washington's personal letter "To the People of the United States," published first in 1796, contains urgent advice over "foreign entanglements." Stepping down after decades of service to his nation, Washington warns through this advice that America should always be suspicious of alliances and involvements in the affairs of other nations, even those friendly to American interests. This advice continued to influence American foreign policy at the time of World War I -- and beyond.
