Best Answer

The Monroe Doctrine stated that the American continents were no longer to be considered as subjects for future European colonization and that the United States would have no participation in any European wars. This was a very bold act, because the United States might not have been able to back up its new policy if challenged. We were still a new country making our place in the world. Our military and navy was not able to handle a war or defending itself from attacks.

The Monroe Doctrine was not as bold of a US foreign policy move as it may seem to have been. This is because Monroe had the support of Great Britain who wanted to keep its colonial Canada and holdings in the West Indies intact. Thus the US and Great Britain were "partners" in the policy of the Monroe Doctrine.

It said that other Europeans cant come to America and take land. It was issued because of the European countries coming in and taking American land.

What were the monroe doctrine effects in Latin America?

The Monroe Doctrine (actually written by John Quincy Adams), declared in December of 1823, was a superlative U.S. foreign policy statement. It was precipitated by various independence movements in South America and the U.S. government's desire to discourage European nations from colonizing the Americas. The doctrine claimed that the Americas ". . .are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." However, the American failures throughout the War of 1812 made the doctrine laughable to Europeans. In the early 1900's, the Monroe Doctrine proved it's power. President Theodore Roosevelt aggressively enforced it during the Venezuela Border Dispute and in securing the independence of Cuba from abusive Spanish rule. Kept Europeans out of South America. No more pesky colonizing. No more European influences.

Which area did James Monroe try to purchase from Napoleon?

The City of New Orleans. However, having lost Hispaniola to a slave revolt, needing cash for a possible upcoming war with Britain and wishing to prevent it from falling into British Control, Napoleon offered to sell all of Louisiana, some 828,000 square miles from the current state of Louisiana up to Canada. Monroe was authorized to spend up to $10M for New Orleans, but exceeded his authority when Napoleon offered all of the territory for $15M, less than 3¢ per acre. Though widely lauded for the move, there were those in Congress who wanted Monroe's head for spending more than he was authorized.
