Monroe made four basic points: (1) the United States would not interfere in the internal affairs of or the wars between European powers; (2) the United States recognized and would not interfere with existing colonies and dependencies in the Western Hemisphere; (3) the Western Hemisphere was closed to future colonization; and (4) any attempt by a European power to oppress or control any nation in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a hostile act against the United States.

Someone had to put a limit to the imperialistic and expansionistic ideas of the European powers. It was James Monroe. In 1823, United States President James Monroe considered that it was time for the United States to protect the interests of North and South America. He established a solid foreign policy known as the "Monroe Doctrine" in which the US prohibited European nations to continue conquering territories in the Americas. To do this, President Monroe assured the European nations that the United States would refrain to intervene in European issues.
