Jefferson spent a lot of time in Paris, loved France and felt they should be courted as our closest ally.
Hamilton felt that we should align ourselves with Great Britian. I think he felt their values were more in line with what he saw as our future, with a stronger centralized government than what Jefferson envisioned.
They sparred about this, quite a bit.
Are we doing the groundwork for your social studies report, or what?

Most likely France as they helped us win the Revoulionary War against England

It seems to me that they were both pushing for France as the closest European ally.

GREAT BRITAIN - The USA has more things in common
with England than we do with any other country in Europe.

I would say India, Australia or one of the other British colonies.

Either Iran, North Korea or China.

When they were alive-France. A lot has changed since then.
