Why did the US proclaim the monroe doctrine?
Even though British and US interests were at odds many times in the 19th century, Britain did support the Monroe Doctrine. In about 1820 the only colonial empire that could rival Britain's was that of Spain. Britain did not want Spain to reconquer its empire in the Americas, which had recently become independent. As a result, Britain supported the Monroe Doctrine in order to prevent this possible Spanish territorial reconquest.

Which two European nations most resented the Monroe Doctrine?
I'd go with France and Spain, the two European nations with the power and desire to continue colonizing the Americas. Ironically, the U.S. didn't have the naval power to enforce the Monroe Doctrine at the time in was enacted and was relying on Britain to do it for them--and Britain did, because they didn't want France or Spain to gain any more power.
How did the Monroe Doctrine serve the interests of the US instead of Latin America or the Caribbean?
In my eyes it is simple, the U.S. did not want the British to colonize Latin America, they wanted to do it themselves. The Monroe Doctrine was just a way of saying, "listen, you can colonize Africa and all the small European nations, but leave Latin America to us. Latin America depended on the U.S. so we were just another step closer to weaseling our way into their resources and people.

How might Europe have responded to the Monroe Doctrine if the US was not friends with Great Britain?
Definition of Monroe DoctrineJust to be clear, the Monroe Doctrine was a statement made by US President James Monroe in 1823 that effectively stated several things: (1) that new attempts by European nations to create new colonies or re-colonize newly independent states in the New World would be viewed negatively by the US, (2) that the US would intervene in any such conflict, and (3) that the European nations were free to maintain current colonies and internal affairs without the US meddling with those.Most European countries laughed at the US for proposing this because the US had no means of effectively fighting against them. It was Britain's support for the Monroe Doctrine that made the Doctrine more-or-less followed.Concerning FriendshipThe cordial relations between the US and UK in 1823 had no bearing on Europe's response to the Monroe Doctrine. The US and UK would only truly become "friends" in the later 19th century after the US Civil War. However, the Monroe Doctrine is often see as a precursor to the "US-UK Special-Relationship" which was well-established in the 20th and 21st centuries.Since "friendship" did not really exist between the US and UK in 1823, the presence or lack of friendship was IRRELEVANT in determining Europe's leaders' responses to the Monroe Doctrine.Actual Reason for SuccessWhat Britain did that made the Monroe Doctrine successful was their Foreign Secretary George Canning's statements that the British Navy would enforce and defend the Americas from European intervention along the lines stated in the Monroe Doctrine. Because Britain was the most powerful country in the world, as opposed to the US, which was relatively weak, the British approval was critical and lead to the Europeans acquiescing to the terms of the Monroe Doctrine.If Britain had not supported the Monroe Doctrine (or actively opposed it), it would have been a worthless speech. European Powers that had recently lost colonies in the New World, like Spain and Portugal, would likely have attempted to reclaim those territories. Other European Powers would try to conquer recently independent countries, like France actually did when Napoleon III decided to invade Mexico in 1861 because the US Civil War prevented direct US intervention to protect Mexico. Others would want to extend their current colonies, such as Russia had tried in the Ukase in 1821.
