The Monroe Doctrine, articulated by President James Monroe in 1823, was a pivotal U.S. foreign policy statement asserting that the Americas should be free from European colonialism and interference. It declared that any European attempts to colonize or interfere in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as acts of aggression, warranting U.S. intervention. The doctrine aimed to protect newly independent nations in Latin America and solidify U.S. influence in the region. Over time, it became a foundational principle of American foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere.
