Theodore Roosevelt (known for the similar Roosevelt Corollary) used the Monroe Doctrine to discourage European nations from interfering in the affairs of North and South America. In the Venezuela Boundary dispute, Roosevelt threatened war against Britain if they continued to encroach on Venezuelan land. President Kennedy used the Monroe Doctrine as justification during the Bay of Pigs(1962). Russian missiles had been stationed on Cuba and were aimed at the United States. It is the closest the U.S. has ever come to a nuclear war.
