The Monroe Doctrine, articulated in 1823, established a policy of opposing European colonialism in the Americas, asserting that any intervention by external powers would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security. This doctrine effectively shielded Latin American nations from European imperial ambitions, promoting a sense of political independence and sovereignty in the region. However, it also allowed the United States to justify its own interventions in Latin America, shaping the political landscape by influencing the balance of power and fostering a U.S.-centric sphere of influence throughout the continent. Over time, this led to both the consolidation of independent nations and increased U.S. dominance in regional affairs.
