Two developments convinced Secretary of State Adams and President Monroe that a Doctrine was necessary. First, the expanded Russian exploration and fur trapping south of Alaska, which had been Russian territory since 1741. The Russians built Fort Ross close to Spanish San Francisco and the Czar in 1821 ordered foreign ships to stay 100 miles clear of Russian-American shores.
The second, yet more important problem Adams saw, was the chance that Austria and France would send troops to the Western Hemisphere to help Spain regain her lost colonies in South America.
The Napoleonic War was the main factor that led to the Monroe Doctrine. Some European countries were hoping to re-establish their control over Latin American colonies.
Constant European interruption with US affairs ex: French control of New Orleans. The doctrine was to stop European colonization in the Americas.
