Not exactly. While both France and England initially had navies that were superior to America's, they were both allies of the United States - and were allowed to trade in the Caribbean without fear of paying expensive taxes or tribute. Thus the value of 'free trade' is that all benefit by trade, enabling them to spend on other items the government finds important. Also note both the English, French, and Dutch still owned islands in the Caribbean, so if these countries honored the Monroe Doctrine, then they had no need to send ships and men to protect them, as they were already under America's watchful eye.

Not at all. The Europeans benefited from the Monroe Doctrine as it enabled them to peacefully trade with the United States and the Caribbean islands without interference from their European enemies.

Is the monroe doctrine still used now?

The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy which was originated by President James Madison on December 2 in 1823. It stated that further efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression. Also the Doctrine state that the United States could not interfere with existing European colonies. They couldn't get involved in the internal concerns of European countries. However in todays society the Monroe Doctrine wouldn't work considering the United States has many allies which also include Europe. Other allies of the United States are, Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy and many more. Considering Europe is allied with the United States we are involved in the internal affairs that go on in their country. (We back them up and they back us up when needed). Therefore, no it is not possible to follow the same policy while we are currently allied with Europe.
