The policy was called "lend lease" and provided money to enable the US to supply goods to the British in the early part of the war.
1. foreign policy. Except for a brief interlude with Manifest Destiny in the 1840's, the country had been in a state of isolationism from the inception of independent government. Near the turn of the century, this policy changed to one of competitive interest in and foreign exchange with other countries. Industrial and mercantile expansion required new markets; the editorials and stories of the so-called "yellow press" sparked the interest of the people; religious missionaries spread their message to groups which expanded as rapidly as did modes of travel; as well as the acceptance (if somewhat altered) of the theory of Darwinism by the wealthy backers of government officials. Another cause of this policy shift was the mass colonization effort by the English, Germans, and Russia, and the American need for a superior navy. American factories and mills were producing far more than this country could consume, and foreign markets for export were desperately needed to sell off the excess.

United States foreign policy after World War II focused primarily on preventing the spread of Stalinism and Soviet communism throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Truman's anticommunist attitudes led to increasing actions aimed at alienating Stalin and the Soviet Union after V-J Day. This was illustrated by a number of economic and military conflicts between East and West Germany directly after the war (look up the Berlin Airlift), and later in conflicts such as the Korean War. Central to early Cold War policy was the concept of "containment," a number of foreign-policy strategic initiatives that sought to contain communism within the parts of the world in which it was already present.
The Westward Expansion has often been regarded as the central theme of American history. The expansion was the result of a strong desire of Manifest Destiny amongst most Americans. Manifest was a belief that the United States was destined to expand across the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Westward expansion had many effects on America. New forms of transportation such as the Transcontinental Railroad developed, bolstering the nation's economy. Although most changes were positive, some were negative. The westward expansion weakened the Native Americans hold on their sacred lands and onto reservations and threatened to ruin their culture. The positive result of Westward Expansion was the start of the United States. Nowadays, United States is one of the most successful countries in the world, and it all started with Westward Expansion. The movement to the West created a huge country which set up the success of America. Another positive part was the creation of the Transcontinental Railroad. The railroad was built as a result of Westward movement, because the early settlers needed a way to transport goods from the West, such as lumber, to the East, efficiently in order to develop a economy. A negative part, and it is a big negative, was the end of the Native Americans. Of course, there are still Native Americans living today, but back before Westward expansion; they basically had the whole West Coast. They treated their land with care. But when white settlers arrived, they were forced out of their own land and onto reservations. Conflicts between white people and Indians arose because of this, and many people, especially Native American, were killed, and killed brutally. Without Westward Expansion, the United States would not be as successful as it is nowadays. But on the other hand, the Natives were here first and we should have given them respect. Even though it is horrific what happened to the Native Americans as a result of Westward Expansion, without it, America would not be where it is today.
The Japanese expansion policy was motivated by a lack of natural resources.
Containment was the foreign policy meant to resist the expansion of the Soviet Union. This policy was implemented by the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Issues that defined American foreign policy during the early nineteenth century include expansion and growth. Industrial growth was evident in Europe and Japan. Americans thought not acting on foreign policy would lead to second class status in the community of nations and economic stagnation.
The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States and fueled a westward expansion that ignited growth. While initially, there were some concerns over boundaries and a fear of challenges from other European countries, the successful outcome of the War of 1812 removed those concerns and western expansion began in earnest.
