Two developments convinced Secretary of State Adams and President Monroe that a Doctrine was necessary. First, the expanded Russian exploration and fur trapping south of Alaska, which had been Russian territory since 1741. The Russians built Fort Ross close to Spanish San Francisco and the Czar in 1821 ordered foreign ships to stay 100 miles clear of Russian-American shores.
The second, yet more important problem Adams saw, was the chance that Austria and France would send troops to the Western Hemisphere to help Spain regain her lost colonies in South America.

The Monroe Doctrine was primarily a response to European colonial ambitions in the Americas, particularly following events like the independence movements in Latin America during the early 19th century. However, the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) occurred before the Monroe Doctrine was proclaimed in 1823 and did not directly lead to its formulation. Instead, it was a significant event that showcased the potential for successful independence movements in the region, influencing later developments but not directly prompting the doctrine itself.
