Answer:

It was a warning for European countries to stop colonization in the western hemisphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

Europeans kept colonizing in the western hemisphere and influencing United States affairs, which came off as a threat to the U.S. Therefore the president at the time, President Monroe, made his thoughts and feelings loud and clear to the Europeans, threatening to use force if they tried to establish a colony.

The main idea of the Monroe doctrine was to keep European countries from oppressing or controlling any nation in the Western Hemisphere. If they did so it would be considered a hostile act against the United States
