Give examples of how the US has gone against the advice that George Washington gave on foreign policy in his farewell address.

George Washington's major foreign policy advice in his
farewell address was that the US should avoid "foreign entaglements."  One way to
understand his speech is that it warns against getting to tied up in alliances with
other countries.

While the US remained relatively weak in
its early years, this advice was not too hard to follow.  It was only much later that
the US really failed to heed Washington's advice.  Perhaps the first major instance of
this was World War I.  In this war, the US was unable (as Washington wanted) to separate
trade from politics.  Our trade with the Allied Powers helped to push us into a war that
seemed like it was none of our business.  In the years since, we have continued to
become closely tied to other countries in ways that Washington seemed to warn
against.
