Throughout its entire history the US avoided becoming involved in alliances with other nations. The existence of alliances caused several European nations to be dragged into WWI. Whenever you have an ally you hand that ally some power to get you into a war. The US departed from this historical stance only after WWII, with the new age of international, collective security, which was largely promoted by the US. The idea is that if everyone bands together they can prevent another menace like Hitler from getting out of hand. So today the US participates in the United Nations and is a member (the main member, in fact) of military alliance such as NATO and SEATO.

During the revolutionary war, the French gave the US money, supplies, and generals for our armies. This led to the Fraco-American Alliance in 1778 after the war which was a binding military alliance. The Franco-American Alliance caused issues when Britain and France went to war and the US stayed neutral. France didn't feel like we held up our end of the bargain on the treaty, so in 1800 the contract was devoid. The US now tends to side with Britain in most political issues and has an underlying hatred of France.
