The Monroe Doctrine, articulated in 1823, permitted the United States to oppose European colonialism and intervention in Latin America, asserting that any attempt by European powers to colonize or interfere in the Americas would be viewed as an act of aggression. It essentially aimed to protect the sovereignty of newly independent Latin American nations and establish the U.S. as a dominant power in the Western Hemisphere. While it discouraged European interference, it also allowed the U.S. to assert its influence and intervene in the region when deemed necessary.
