George Washington issued the Neutrality Proclamation in 1793 to maintain the United States' independence and avoid entanglement in the ongoing conflicts between France and Great Britain. He believed that involvement in European wars would jeopardize the young nation's stability and development. The proclamation reflected his commitment to a foreign policy of neutrality, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to focus on its own interests and unity. By taking this stance, Washington aimed to protect American sovereignty and foster economic growth without foreign interference.
