The Monroe Doctrine was a statement of United States foreign policy expressing opposition to extension of European control or influence in the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine meant little in 1823, when the Americans lacked the army and navy to enforce it. The Latin American republics kept their Iindependence with British, rather than American, help. The doctrine became much more important later in the nineteenth century, when the United States began to intervene militarily in the Caribbean and Central America.
