Abstract
As a young nation the United States was faced with the prospect of gaining a foothold in the world, during a time when European aggression and tensions were running high. During the period from 1775 through 1819, American diplomats were able to achieve dramatic successes in the realm of foreign policy which helped shape the future of the country. Noted historian Samuel Bemis once observed that "Europe's distresses led to America's earliest diplomatic successes." While Bemis was very astute at recognizing the circumstances in Europe that led to American diplomatic victories, he failed to see the whole picture. In addition to the problems in Europe, the American zeal for expansion greatly contributed to many early successes such as the Louisiana Purchase and Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819.
