Why it was important to Washington to keep America out of European affairs?

Upon becoming President of the United States, George Washington almost immediately set two critical foreign policy precedents: He assumed control of treaty negotiations with a hostile power—in this case, the Creek Nation of Native Americans—and then asked for congressional approval once they were finalized.

Washington was leery of any such foreign entanglement, considering his country too weak and unstable to fight another war with a major European power.
