The Monroe Doctrine (1823) warned European powers against interfering in the Western Hemisphere. President James Monroe warned European powers by saying that North and/or South America would not serve as subjects for colonization by Europe. In return, the United States agree to stay out of European affairs. The doctrine followed the massive rise of independent nations in South America, including Peru, Bolivia, and Cuba. The Monroe Doctrine was considered a defining moment in US foreign policy.

While named after the President that wrote the 1823 message to Congress, the Monroe Doctrine was the brain child of Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams. Basically the Doctrine warned that the United States was no longer to be considered an area open to European influence or colonization. The US promised not to interfere in the affairs of Europe and Europe would respect that the Western Hemisphere was closed to colonization by any power. Two developments convinced Adams that such a Doctrine was necessary. First, the expanded Russian exploration and fur trapping south of Alaska, which had been Russian 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. Actually, Adams realized the US could not enforce the provisions of the Monroe Doctrine, but Great Britain had previously proposed that the two nations issue a proclamation that the Western Hemisphere was closed to further colonization. It was in England’s economic interests that the new Latin nations be allowed to trade with other nations, namely Great Britain. While this US “show of force” annoyed the British, Adams realized that the British Navy would help the US uphold the Monroe Doctrine.

Why was the Monroe doctrine 1823 of such importance to the US?

The Monroe Doctrine was important to The US and Great Britain as well. The doctrine was aimed primarily at France and Russia. It in fact had the blessing of Great Britain. The economics of it were of prime concern to Great Britain for several reasons. By declaring that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to further colonization by the Great Powers of Europe, the doctrine also declared that the US would have no interest in making colonies for itself. This was welcomed by Great Britain as it owned Canada. It also, via its naval fleet protected its commercial interests with the newly independent nations of Latin America. Further to this, it laid out a warning to Russia concerning its activities in the great northwest, which helped Great Britain as well. The doctrine laid a foundation for preventing France to take adventures in the Western Hemisphere. And, that concern was genuine as later in the century Mexico became a target for French imperialism.
