What impact did European affairs have on the US in the first two decades of the nineteenth century?

European affairs in the early 19th century had a significant impact on the United States. Events such as the Napoleonic Wars, the War of 1812, and the ongoing conflict between France and Britain influenced U.S. trade, foreign policy, and territorial expansion. The U.S. faced challenges such as interruptions to trade, impressment of American sailors, and the need to assert its independence in foreign relations. These events also contributed to the development of the Monroe Doctrine, which aimed to limit European intervention in the Americas.
