    The earliest American foreign policy successes formulated through the consistent turmoil that engrossed Europe. The historian Samuel Flagg Bemis even coined the phrase “Europe’s distresses led to America’s earliest diplomatic successes.” From the nation’s bloody revolution, to major expansions across the North American continent, major victories for the United States was an outcome of war torn European nations unable to preserve their power in the west and cunning American legislators that parted from traditional diplomacy.
