In 1823, the United States was concerned about events in Latin America primarily due to the potential for European powers, particularly Spain, to reassert control over newly independent nations in the region. The U.S. sought to prevent European intervention in the Americas through the Monroe Doctrine, which declared that any attempts by European nations to colonize or interfere in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as acts of aggression. This policy reflected the U.S. desire to promote democracy and protect its own interests in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. Additionally, fostering stability in Latin America was seen as crucial for U.S. economic growth and security.
