Detailed explanation-1: -The European powers, according to Monroe, were obligated to respect the Western Hemisphere as the United States’ sphere of interest. President James Monroe’s 1823 annual message to Congress contained the Monroe Doctrine, which warned European powers not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 1823 doctrine made four main points: The U.S. wouldn’t interfere in European conflicts. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -1) The United States would not get involved in European affairs. 2) The United States would not interfere with existing European colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -The United States invoked the Monroe Doctrine to defend its increasingly imperialistic role in the Americas in the mid-19th century, but it was not until the Spanish-American War in 1898 that the United States declared war against a European power over its interference in the American hemisphere.
