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.
