What was the Monroe doctrins?

Answer 1

The Monroe Doctrine stated that European nations should not intervene in countries to the south of the U.S.

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, and a growing American nationalism. 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.

To sum it up in a short version, the Monroe Doctrine stated that the United States would defend the Freedom of other nations.

The Monroe Doctrine is a United States foreign policy document passed around 1820 saying that any further attempts made by European countries to colonize the United States would be deemed necessary of US intervention.

It warned European nations that the United States would not take further colonization or puppet monarchs..... December 2, 1823

Answer 2

THE MONROE DOCTRINE, was the fruition of early American policy. There had long been a deep-seated conviction on the part of the people of the United States that the opportunities of a hard-won freedom would be threatened by the ambitions of European powers and that the aims of the new nation could be achieved only by keeping clear of the toils of European politics and strife. It was this conviction of the necessity of maintaining an independent position, which led to the declaration of neutrality in 1793, despite the Treaty of Alliance with France, which had sprung from the exigencies of the Revolutionary struggle.
