Detailed explanation-1: -In exchange, it stipulated that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to further colonization and that any attempt on the part of a European power to colonize territory in the Western Hemisphere would be understood by the U.S. as an act of aggression.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Monroe Doctrine is the best known U.S. policy toward the Western Hemisphere.
