John Adams - XYZ affair - led to Alien and Sedition Acts
Thomas Jefferson - Barbary War (wasn't really "critical" from a historical perspective) or Louisiana Purchase (not really a "foreign policy decision") - which more than doubled the size of the nation, purchased from France to help France pay debts incurred during Napoleonic wars.
Madison - War of 1812
Monroe - Monroe Doctrine

Guide your research to those terms and you'll have a great essay.
