The Monroe Doctrine is a concept that sees any intervention of extrarregional powers (mainly of Europe in 1823) in the affairs of the nations of the Western Hemisphere as a threat to the United States´ security. It also states that the US would not intervene in the conflicts or issues of the European powers.
