The Monroe Doctrine, issued in 1823, was primarily a response to European colonial ambitions in the Americas, aimed at preventing further European intervention in the Western Hemisphere. It asserted that any attempt by European powers to colonize or interfere with nations in Latin America would be viewed as an act of aggression against the U.S. The effects in Latin America included a sense of increased sovereignty and independence from European powers, but it also led to U.S. interventions in the region under the guise of protecting these nations, often undermining their autonomy. Overall, it established a framework for U.S. dominance in Latin America that persisted for decades.
