Monroe Doctrine was a law passed by president James Munroe on December 2nd, 1823. It was important to the U.S foreign policy for two main characteristics:

  1. It helped North and South America colonies to adopt a democratic form of government.
  2. It viewed European's interference in Americas as a threat to the United States interests.
