Canning's Foreign Policy

Canning's foreign policy focused on maintaining stability and power through strategic diplomacy and alliances. He prioritized protecting British interests abroad, especially in Europe and the Americas, by fostering good relations, managing conflicts, and balancing rival powers. Canning aimed to promote peace and prevent wars, while also expanding Britain's influence through negotiations rather than military force whenever possible. His approach reflected a careful, pragmatic effort to preserve Britain's global position and ensure national security through skilled diplomacy and alliance-building.
