Hello!

Good Morning!

Lucky for you I know a lot about this.

The Monroe Doctrine is the best known U.S. policy toward the Western Hemisphere. Buried in a routine annual message delivered to Congress by President James Monroe in December 1823, the doctrine warns European nations that the United States would not tolerate further colonization or puppet monarchs.


I hope this really helps you!

The Monroe Doctrine was an attempt by the United States to delineate what the US would and would not get involved in as a country. In essence, it is a declaration that the US would stay out of land wars in Europe if Europe stayed out of the affairs of the Western hemisphere.
