The Monroe Doctrine covered the Western Hemisphere. At the time, Great Britain applauded this doctrine in that it then considered its North American holdings, such as Canada, safe. Violations did occur however and were treated not specifically to be Monroe Doctrine ones. By this I mean the installation of a French puppet regime in Mexico. After the US Civil War, assembling US troops on the Mexican border, and threatening to invade Mexico was enough for France to abandon this idea. Regardless of the Doctrine, the US used its military to protect its own national security.
