Detailed explanation-1: -Although initially disregarded by the great powers of Europe, the Monroe Doctrine became a mainstay of U.S. foreign policy. In 1823 U.S. President James Monroe proclaimed the U.S. protector of the Western Hemisphere by forbidding European powers from colonizing additional territories in the Americas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Monroe Doctrine expressed the idea that new countries should be allowed to develop without interference from any stronger nations. The Monroe Doctrine is a doctrine that European nations should not interfere with American nations or try to acquire more territory in the Western Hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the mid-1800s, Monroe’s declaration, combined with ideas of Manifest Destiny, provided precedent and support for U.S. expansion on the American continent. In the late 1800s, U.S. economic and military power enabled it to enforce the Monroe Doctrine.
Detailed explanation-4: -The U.S. wouldn’t interfere with existing European colonies or territories in the Western Hemisphere. European powers wouldn’t attempt any further colonization in the Western Hemisphere. The U.S. would view any European attempts to colonize or control nations in the Western Hemisphere as hostile acts.
