The Monroe Doctrine was a foreign policy statement drawn up by John Quincy Adams and declared by US President James Monroe in 1823. This was a powerful statement for such a young country as was the United States. It can be summarized in this manner: The Western Hemisphere was not to be considered as an area for additional colonization by Europeans. It declared that the United States would view with extreme displeasure any European nation's attempt to intervene in the politics of countries in the Americas. This policy dominated US foreign policy for the next 100 years. It proclaimed that the US had hegemony in Latin America.
