A major purpose of the Monroe Doctrine, articulated in 1823, was to assert that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to European colonization or interference. It aimed to protect newly independent Latin American nations from European aggression and influence. The doctrine established a clear distinction between the Old World (Europe) and the New World (the Americas), signaling that any attempt by European powers to extend their influence in the Americas would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security and interests. This policy laid the groundwork for future U.S. involvement in Latin America.
