The Monroe Doctrine

False

The Monroe Doctrine was a warning to European countries not to interfere in the Western Hemisphere.

The Monroe Doctrine was a policy of the United States. It was introduced on December 2, 1823. The declaration stated that any efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be considered acts of aggression, requiring the United States to intervene. It also stated that the United States may not interfere with existing European colonies nor is the United States allowed to get involved with the concerns of European countries.

The Monroe Doctrine was issued at a time where all Latin American colonies of Spain and Portugal had achieved or were at the point or achieving independence from the Portuguese Empire and Spanish Empire. The president, James Monroe, first stated the Monroe Doctrine during his seventh annual State of the Union Address to Congress. The declaration gained its name in the year 1850. By the end of the nineteenth century, Monroe's declaration was seen as a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States.

The Monroe Doctrine stated that England could no longer come in to America or anywhere in the Western Hemisphere and interfere with counties developing or to make colonies.

It came back with the Roosevelt Corollary. Basically, Venezuela and Central American countries owed money to European nations, which they couldn't pay. European nations like England and France gave loans to Caribbean islands and Central American countries, knowing they couldn't pay. This was a way for England and France to basically control those countries. Theodore Roosevelt saw what was going on and basically told Europe to back off. The role of America was to "stabilize" those countries that owed Europe money.

James Monroe issued the "Monroe Doctrine" in 1823. The Doctrine held that any former colony in the Western Hemisphere that had declared independence and successfully became independant (through either war or treaty) would not be re-colonized by the same or a different European power. Although the young United States was in no position to defend this declaration, the British agreed with the sentiment and argued that their navy, the strongest in the world at the time, would defend the Monroe Doctrine.

People were tired of European shenanigans. The Monroe Doctrine was intended to kick those meddling Europeans out of America.

He warned European nations not to interfere with affairs in the Western hemisphere

roosevelt corollary !

Europe getting involved in North and South America

The main message of the Monroe doctrine was that European powers could no longer interfere with the newly independent states of the Americas (it was produced in 1823). It was directed toward all European nation.

reflects the Army's approach to combat

Monroe Doctrine; December 2, 1823

"At the proposal of the Russian Imperial Government, made through the minister of the Emperor residing here, a full power and instructions have been transmitted to the minister of the United States at St. Petersburg to arrange by amicable negotiation the respective rights and interests of the two nations on the northwest coast of this continent. A similar proposal has been made by His Imperial Majesty to the Government of Great Britain, which has likewise been acceded to. The Government of the United States has been desirous by this friendly proceeding of manifesting the great value which they have invariably attached to the friendship of the Emperor and their solicitude to cultivate the best understanding with his Government. In the discussions to which this interest has given rise and in the arrangements by which they may terminate the occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers."

all nations of the Western Hemisphere shared a common goal of preventing European dominance in the Americas

The Monroe Doctrine's policy was to safeguard the rights of independent nations to sovereignty.

That, "'The American continents … are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers".

America should ignore Europe

Russia, Austria, France, and Prussia dissucused a plan to help Spain regain it's American holdings. The us did not want European involvement in North America

France

The French foreign minister said the Monroe Doctrine should "be resisted by all the powers having commercial or territorial interest in the hemisphere".

because Abraham Lincoln wrote it

The Monroe Doctrine warned the European Nations not to interfere with the Western Hemisphere. The document, drawn up by Monroe himself, said that the U.S. was going to "watch" over the Latin American nations so that the European nations did not try to take them over.

It is dead. It was abrogated by Pres. Jimmy Carter (If my memory serves me correctly).

To declare U.S. rights to intervene in Latin America

The Monroe Doctrine was the principle that the United States would not tolerate foreign intervention in the Americas, and it was formulated in 1823. George Washington died in 1799.
