Latin Americans may be concerned about the Monroe Doctrine because it historically positioned the United States as the dominant power in the Western Hemisphere, often justifying intervention in Latin American affairs. This perception of U.S. paternalism can evoke fears of neocolonialism, undermining their sovereignty and self-determination. Additionally, the doctrine has been invoked to support U.S. actions that some Latin Americans view as exploitative or destabilizing. Consequently, the legacy of the Monroe Doctrine can foster mistrust and resentment toward U.S. intentions in the region.
The Monroe Doctrine was a policy of the United States introduced on December 2nd, 1823.
The American failures throughout the War of 1812 made the doctrine laughable to Europeans. Latin Americans were doubtful about the U.S. enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine, and generally ignored it. 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.
