- The Washington Doctrine of Unstable Alliances, also known as the caution against entangling alliances, was an early realist guide for US foreign policy and the nation's interaction with others. Washington warned the nation to avoid permanent alliances with foreign nations and to rely instead on temporary alliances for emergencies. He advised the United States to stay out of unnecessary wars and aloof from foreign entanglements. Washington's admonition stemmed from his own personal experience, as he knew first hand how costly wars could be4. He meant only to steer clear of European alliances and entanglements only for as long as it took to get the USA consolidated and strong in the face of superior European power.
