The Monroe Doctrine

they warned them not to go to war

The Monroe Doctrine was named after the President that delivered the message to Congress in 1823, but the Doctrine was the brain child of Secretary of State John Quincy Adams. Basically, the Doctrine warned that the United States was no longer to be considered an area open to European influence or colonization. The US promised not to interfere in the affairs of Europe and Europe would respect that fact that the Western Hemisphere was closed to colonization and influence by any other power than the US.

Two developments convinced Adams that such a Doctrine was necessary. First, the expanded Russian exploration and fur trapping south of Alaska, which had been Russian territory since 1741. The Russians built Fort Ross close to Spanish San Francisco and the Czar in 1821 ordered foreign ships to stay 100 miles clear of Russian-American shores.

The second, yet more important problem Adams saw, was the chance that Austria and France would send troops to the Western Hemisphere to help Spain regain her lost colonies in South America.

Adams realized that the US could not enforce the provision of the Monroe Doctrine but Great Britain had previously proposed that the two nations issue a similar proclamation closing the western hemisphere to future colonization. It was in England's economic interest that the new Latin nations be allowed to trade with other nations, namely England. While this US "show of force" annoyed the British, Adams realized that the British Navy would help the US uphold the Doctrine.

President Monroe passed the Monroe Doctrine because he was afraid of too much European involvement in Middle and South America. The US feared new involvement of European powers in the Americas -- first of France after Napoleon's victories, then of the Allied powers after Napoleon's defeat who had sworn to uphold, if necessary, by force, the power of monarchs wherever it was threatened. The Monroe doctrine expressly excluded the already existing involvement of Europe's colonial powers, but it drew the line there: every new 'colonial' effort or any armed intervention to change or forcibly retain the status quo would be actively resisted by the USA.

The Monroe Doctrine states the US will oversee Latin nations, the Roosevelt Corollary allowed Roosevelt to militarily enter such Latin Nations.

The purpose was to deter the expansion of European powers to the new world. The doctrine essentially warned of american retaliation if Europe expanded its new world colonies, though it promised to leave existing colonies alone. However, nobody took the threat seriously since the US was a second rate power back then.

Perhaps the most important issue behind the Monroe Doctrine was a fear that Spain would reassert its claims on parts of Latin America that had become independent. The idea of opposing this had been suggested to the Americans by the British government. But the immediate cause was statements by the Russian government asserting its claims on the territory of Alaska and the ocean approaches to it, to a distance of a hundred miles.

The Monroe doctrine change American foreign policy in four ways. The four ways were military forces, Teddy Roosevelt would issue his Corrollary, the US would throw the last remnants of the Spanish Empire out and calling on America history.

The Roosevelt Corollary was an idea Theodore Roosevelt stated in his inauguration speech that added more terms to the Monroe Doctrine. This was an idea that the United States be more forceful in foreign affairs.

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.

The Monroe Doctrine stated that any European efforts to colonize or interfere with North or South America would be considered an aggressive act.

The United States was incapable of enforcing the Monroe Doctrine when it was delivered. There was understanding at the time of its delivery that the British would be the power defending the Monroe Doctrine, which they did using their large fleet of ships and privateers.

I'm not entirely sure but it might be by ensuring that we are not under the influence of the European nation any longer

The implications for the future of the Monroe Doctrine were to keep Spain away from controllling Latin America's immigrants. The US also needed help from Switzerland to kill all the Europeans in their very prominent nation.

The Monroe Doctrine was important to The US and Great Britain as well. The doctrine was aimed primarily at France and Russia. It in fact had the blessing of Great Britain. The economics of it were of prime concern to Great Britain for several reasons. By declaring that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to further colonization by the Great Powers of Europe, the doctrine also declared that the US would have no interest in making colonies for itself. This was welcomed by Great Britain as it owned Canada. It also, via its naval fleet protected its commercial interests with the newly independent nations of Latin America.

Further to this, it laid out a warning to Russia concerning its activities in the great northwest, which helped Great Britain as well. The doctrine laid a foundation for preventing France to take adventures in the Western Hemisphere. And, that concern was genuine as later in the century Mexico became a target for French imperialism.
