The Monroe doctrine was written December 2, 1823. It reinforces Washington's idea of isolation and assuming the leadership of the Western Hemisphere. This document closed the Americans to further European colonization, threatening the military force if necessary. Doctrine helped to preserve the independence of the new nations of Latin America; it became the corner stone of the United States foreign policy in its dealings with Latin America countries.
