Answer 1

The correct answer is:

4. The U.S remained neutral and did not enter the war.

During the war between Britain and France, known as the Napoleonic Wars, the United States adopted a policy of neutrality. President George Washington emphasized the importance of avoiding entangling alliances and conflicts with European powers. This policy was reflected in the Neutrality Proclamation of 1793, which aimed to keep the U.S. out of the ongoing conflicts between France and Britain.
