The Monroe Doctrine was approved by Congress.
John Adams inherited a rocky relationship with France during his term. His initial approach was to follow the channels of diplomacy, but when that failed he began to take defensive measures against France and cancelled all alliances with the country.
John Adams advised James Monroe to maintain a strong stance in foreign relations, particularly regarding European involvement in the Americas. He emphasized the importance of upholding the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted that any European intervention in the Western Hemisphere would be seen as a threat to U.S. security. Adams encouraged Monroe to prioritize American interests and sovereignty while navigating international diplomacy.
Under John Adams' administration, U.S. policy toward France shifted from support to caution and neutrality. Initially, the U.S. had a strong pro-French sentiment following the American Revolution, but tensions escalated during the Quasi-War (1798-1800) due to French aggression against American shipping. Adams opted for diplomacy over war, pursuing peace negotiations and ultimately signing the Convention of 1800, which ended hostilities and normalized relations with France. This shift reflected a desire to avoid conflict and maintain stability for the young nation.
