American intervention might be justified in scenarios involving severe human rights violations, such as genocide or ethnic cleansing, where urgent action could prevent mass atrocities. Additionally, intervention may be warranted to uphold international law, protect national security interests, or respond to threats posed by hostile regimes or terrorist organizations. Economic stability, regional security, and humanitarian crises could also serve as valid grounds for intervention, provided there is broad international support and a clear mandate. Ultimately, the justification often hinges on the potential for a positive outcome and the moral obligation to protect vulnerable populations.

The Monroe Doctrine was primarily used to justify U.S. involvement in Latin America and the Caribbean. It asserted that any European intervention in the Americas would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security, leading to actions such as the U.S. intervention in Cuba during the Spanish-American War and the establishment of the Roosevelt Corollary, which allowed for increased U.S. intervention in the region. This doctrine shaped American foreign policy and reinforced the idea of the Western Hemisphere as a sphere of U.S. influence.
The policy that states the U.S. has the right to interfere in the domestic affairs of nations in the Americas is known as the Monroe Doctrine. Established in 1823, it asserted that any European intervention in the Americas would be viewed as an act of aggression, warranting U.S. intervention. Over time, the doctrine evolved to justify various U.S. interventions in Latin America, reinforcing the idea of American hegemony in the region.
The domino theory was promoted at times by the United States government and speculated that if one state in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect. The domino theory was used by successive United States administrations during the Cold War to justify the need for American intervention around the world.
