The Monroe Doctrine

The Monroe Doctrine was sighned December 2nd, 1823.

Further European colonization of the Americas was prohibited.

We all know George Washington as the Father of our Country. His farewell address was very important, in the sense that he emphasized foreign policy. The Monroe Doctrine basically told Europe to stop all their colonizing shenanigans and to keep to themselves. Thankfully, they pulled out of South America. The similarity between the two could be that in both of these addresses, foreign policy was to not meddle in affairs overseas.

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.

The Monroe Doctrine reflected growing U.S. power by establishing its sphere of influence.

The Monroe Doctrine divided the Eastern Hydrosphere (America and South America) from the European powers in the Southern Hemisphere. It stated that no European powers could come into our territory to colonize. If they came into our side of the world, we would consider it a threat and we would use our army to drive them away. This doctrine actu ally worked and kept the Europeans out of the Americas. For almost 20 years, the Monroe Doctrine kept out nation safe.

The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy which was originated by President James Madison on December 2 in 1823. It stated that further efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression. Also the Doctrine state that the United States could not interfere with existing European colonies. They couldn't get involved in the internal concerns of European countries. However in todays society the Monroe Doctrine wouldn't work considering the United States has many allies which also include Europe. Other allies of the United States are, Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy and many more. Considering Europe is allied with the United States we are involved in the internal affairs that go on in their country. (We back them up and they back us up when needed). Therefore, no it is not possible to follow the same policy while we are currently allied with Europe.

The United States sought to expand its borders into Spanish territories.

The Roosevelt Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine that was articulated by President Theodore Roosevelt in his State of the Union Address in 1904. The corollary states that the United States will intervene in conflicts between European Nations and Latin American countries to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers, rather than having the Europeans press their claims directly. Basically, the United States would act as the "police force" of the Western Hemisphere.

The Monroe Doctrine asserted that any nation enacted any unwanted advances within the Western Hemisphere as an act of aggression toward the United States.

The Monroe Doctrine states that any country has the right to defend itself from unwanted outside forces.

The Monroe doctrine also promised to protect any other country within the Americas, should they be attacked or an attempt was made by any European country to colonize it. This was a very generous offer to all third world countries within the Americas.

Likewise, America promised not to bother any already colonized country within the Western Hemisphere. This policy was was a direct result of Spain's aggression toward it's colony in Cuba.

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.

kept the Europeans out of the western hemisphere.

la la la how?

The Monroe Doctrine affected south, central America. Also it made it so any European nations could not settle in the Americas but European immigrants could move to the Americas.

an addition to the monroe doctirine in 1928??? i think but i know it was an addition to the monroe doctrine not sure abpout the date

Even though British and US interests were at odds many times in the 19th century, Britain did support the Monroe Doctrine. In about 1820 the only colonial empire that could rival Britain's was that of Spain. Britain did not want Spain to reconquer its empire in the Americas, which had recently become independent. As a result, Britain supported the Monroe Doctrine in order to prevent this possible Spanish territorial reconquest.

The Monroe Doctrine stated that any further colonization efforts by Europe in North and South America would be stopped by the United States. Conversely, the United States would not interfere with any existing European colonies.

He announced the Monroe Doctrine in 1823.

The Monroe Doctrine by US President Monroe was issued to try to prevent European involvement in North or South America. Its goal was also to prevent the "New World" from being fought over.

It is important to note that Great Britain endorsed the doctrine as it suited their own interests in the Western Hemisphere.

Practically speaking, Britain did. George Canning had originally proposed that Britain and the US should jointly guarantee the former Spanish colonies against reconquest, but Monroe (or rather John Quincy Adams, his Sec of state) preferred to go it alone. Indeed, without British support, or at least acquiescence, the Doctrine would have been unenforceable in those early days.

Two developments convinced Secretary of State Adams that the Monroe 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.

The Doctrine stated the United States policy position that the Americas were no longer to be considered an area open to European influence or colonization.

The Monroe Doctrine (actually written by John Quincy Adams), declared in December of 1823, was a superlative U.S. foreign policy statement. It was precipitated by various independence movements in South America and the U.S. government's desire to discourage European nations from colonizing the Americas. The doctrine claimed that the Americas ". . .are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." However, the American failures throughout the War of 1812 made the doctrine laughable to Europeans.

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.

Kept Europeans out of South America. No more pesky colonizing. No more European influences.

they warned them not to go to war
