The doctrine warning all European powers to discontinue colonization of the Western Hemisphere is known as the Monroe Doctrine, established in 1823 by U.S. President James Monroe. It asserted that any efforts by European nations to interfere in the affairs of the Americas would be viewed as acts of aggression, warranting U.S. intervention. The doctrine aimed to protect newly independent Latin American countries and prevent further European colonial expansion in the region.
Christopher Columbus is credited with opening up the Western Hemisphere to Europe following his voyage in 1492, which led to the widespread awareness of the Americas among Europeans. His expeditions, sponsored by Spain, marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization in the New World. Columbus's discoveries initiated significant cultural exchanges, trade, and ultimately, the colonization that transformed both the Americas and Europe.
