Why was the Monroe Doctrine an important part in the American foreign policy?

The Monroe Doctrine (actually written by John Quincy Adams), declared in December of 1823, was a superlative U.S. foreign policy statement. It was precipitated by various independence movements in South America and the U.S. government's desire to discourage European nations from colonizing the Americas. The doctrine claimed that the Americas ". . .are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." In the early 1900's, the Monroe Doctrine proved it's power. President Theodore Roosevelt aggressively enforced it during the Venezuela Border Dispute and in securing the independence of Cuba from abusive Spanish rule.


Are there amendments to the Monroe Doctrine?

Yes. In his 1904 Address to Congress, President Theodore Roosevelt issued the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which stated that, All that this country desires is to see the neighboring countries stable, orderly, and prosperous. Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship. If a nation shows that it knows how to act with reasonable efficiency and decency in social and political matters, if it keeps order and pays its obligations, it need fear no interference from the United States. Chronic wrongdoing, or an impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilized society, may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an international police power.


European countries did not test the Monroe doctrine because of Americas superior military strength?

Not exactly. While both France and England initially had navies that were superior to America's, they were both allies of the United States - and were allowed to trade in the Caribbean without fear of paying expensive taxes or tribute. Thus the value of 'free trade' is that all benefit by trade, enabling them to spend on other items the government finds important. Also note both the English, French, and Dutch still owned islands in the Caribbean, so if these countries honored the Monroe Doctrine, then they had no need to send ships and men to protect them, as they were already under America's watchful eye.


How did Roosevelt justify this corollary to Monroe Doctrine with the reasoning of what?

Roosevelt justified the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine by emphasizing the need for the United States to intervene in Latin American nations to maintain stability and order, particularly in the face of European intervention. He argued that if a nation was unable to manage its affairs or pay its debts, the U.S. had the right to intervene to prevent European powers from exploiting the situation. This rationale was rooted in the belief that the U.S. had a responsibility to act as a "police power" in the Western Hemisphere to protect both American interests and the region's sovereignty.

couze thre were unicorn bad unicorn who killled people and they need to be safe so they issue the monroe doctrine


what statement BEST explains the point of this passage by President Monroe?

To provide an accurate response, I would need to know the specific passage by President Monroe you are referring to. However, if it pertains to the Monroe Doctrine, the best explanation would be that it establishes a policy of opposing European colonialism in the Americas, asserting that any intervention by external powers in the politics of the Americas would be seen as a threat to the peace and safety of the United States. This doctrine aimed to protect the sovereignty of nations in the Western Hemisphere.


What were the intended purposes of the Monroe Doctrine?

In cooperation with the British, US President Monroe saw a need to ensure that the Western Hemisphere remain in control of the US and Great Britain. Allowing for the current existence of any Spanish colonies. The British already had a part of the Gulf of Mexico and of course owned Canada. The British also had lucrative trade agreements with nations in South and Central America. These had to be protected from other European powers. The Monroe Doctrine would give the US a policy to be enforced if there was interference from other European powers. The Doctrine was ignored by the French attempt to make Mexico a puppet state in the middle of the 19th century.
