How might Europe have responded to the Monroe Doctrine if the US was not friends with Great Britain?

Definition of Monroe Doctrine
Just to be clear, the Monroe Doctrine was a statement made by US President James Monroe in 1823 that effectively stated several things: (1) that new attempts by European nations to create new colonies or re-colonize newly independent states in the New World would be viewed negatively by the US, (2) that the US would intervene in any such conflict, and (3) that the European nations were free to maintain current colonies and internal affairs without the US meddling with those.

Most European countries laughed at the US for proposing this because the US had no means of effectively fighting against them. It was Britain's support for the Monroe Doctrine that made the Doctrine more-or-less followed.

Concerning Friendship

The cordial relations between the US and UK in 1823 had no bearing on Europe's response to the Monroe Doctrine. The US and UK would only truly become "friends" in the later 19th century after the US Civil War. However, the Monroe Doctrine is often see as a precursor to the "US-UK Special-Relationship" which was well-established in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Since "friendship" did not really exist between the US and UK in 1823, the presence or lack of friendship was IRRELEVANT in determining Europe's leaders' responses to the Monroe Doctrine.

Actual Reason for Success
What Britain did that made the Monroe Doctrine successful was their Foreign Secretary George Canning's statements that the British Navy would enforce and defend the Americas from European intervention along the lines stated in the Monroe Doctrine. Because Britain was the most powerful country in the world, as opposed to the US, which was relatively weak, the British approval was critical and lead to the Europeans acquiescing to the terms of the Monroe Doctrine.

If Britain had not supported the Monroe Doctrine (or actively opposed it), it would have been a worthless speech. European Powers that had recently lost colonies in the New World, like Spain and Portugal, would likely have attempted to reclaim those territories. Other European Powers would try to conquer recently independent countries, like France actually did when Napoleon III decided to invade Mexico in 1861 because the US Civil War prevented direct US intervention to protect Mexico. Others would want to extend their current colonies, such as Russia had tried in the Ukase in 1821.

What is mandala doctrine?

The mandala doctrine refers to a conceptual framework used in various spiritual and political contexts, particularly in Buddhism and Hinduism, to represent the universe and the relationships within it. In Buddhism, it often symbolizes the cosmos and serves as a tool for meditation and spiritual guidance. In a political context, particularly in the historical context of Tibet and surrounding regions, it describes the arrangement of power and authority, illustrating how different territories and their rulers relate to a central spiritual authority. Overall, mandalas serve as visual representations of complex systems and interconnections.

Which country wrote the monroe doctrine and briefly what it says?

The Monroe Doctrine was written by United States President Monroe. It stated that any efforts of European powers to colonize or interfere with North or South America would be seen as an act of aggression towards the United States, and that the US would have to intervene.

What hemisphere did the Monroe doctrine cover?

The Monroe Doctrine covered the Western Hemisphere. At the time, Great Britain applauded this doctrine in that it then considered its North American holdings, such as Canada, safe. Violations did occur however and were treated not specifically to be Monroe Doctrine ones. By this I mean the installation of a French puppet regime in Mexico. After the US Civil War, assembling US troops on the Mexican border, and threatening to invade Mexico was enough for France to abandon this idea. Regardless of the Doctrine, the US used its military to protect its own national security.

Does the Monroe Doctrine state that the US would not intervene in the affairs of countries in Latin America?

Monroe stated: "The American continents ... are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers" and warned the imperial European powers against interfering in the affairs of the newly independent Latin American states or potential United States territories. Any interference would b taken as a threat to America's security. This doctrine also refrain US from participation in European wars and pledged not to disturb existing colonies in the Western Hemisphere. It was successful in keeping France, Spain and other powers out of the region and allowed Britain to long remain the dominant trade power in Latin America.

No it does not state the US would not intervene. On the contrary, it basically lays the groundwork for the America's being in the US sphere of influence. While this does not mean the US would interfere in other country's affairs, it laid the ground work for future amendments to allow it. it also stated that Americans should not interfere in European nations affairs

To make sure that European countries don't succeed in colonizing the independent countries of America.

The Monroe Doctrine stated that the European powers need to stay out of the United States, and were not allowed to Colonize in the United States territory. If the Europeans would attempt to do such, then the United States would take action.

The Americas were no longer open to European colonization.

President Monroe's speech set the stage for the U.S. to take side with other new countries in the Americas. It led to the U.S. taking on a role as the protector of the newly independent American countries.

It was a proclamation declaring that the US would take action against any nation who tried to make land on North American their own.

The Monroe Doctrine is a U.S. doctrine which, on December 2, 1823, proclaimed that European powers were to no longer colonize or interfere with the affairs of the newly independent nations of the Americas

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.
He had asked France russia Austria and Prussia the Quadruple alliance help its fight against revolutionary forces in South America...
The message that Monroe doctrine did send to the world was that Britain should keep out of Latin America.

Who did the Monroe doctrine protect the latin Americas from?

Reasons for the Monroe Doctrine to be issued: While named after the President that wrote the 1823 message to Congress, the Monroe Doctrine was the brain child of Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams.

Actually, Adams realized the US could not enforce the provisions of the Monroe Doctrine, but Great Britain had previously proposed that the two nations issue a proclamation that the Western Hemisphere was closed to further colonization. It was in England’s economic interests that the new Latin nations be allowed to trade with other nations, namely Great Britain. While this US “show of force” annoyed the British, Adams realized that the British Navy would help the US uphold the Monroe Doctrine.
