John Quincy Adams played a crucial role in formulating the Monroe Doctrine by advocating for a strong stance against European colonialism in the Americas. He was motivated by concerns over European intervention and the potential re-colonization of newly independent Latin American nations. Adams believed that the United States should assert its influence in the Western Hemisphere and protect its interests, leading to the declaration that any European interference would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security. His vision of a hemispheric policy ultimately shaped the doctrine that bears President James Monroe's name.
