Detailed explanation-1: -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. Understandably, the United States has always taken a particular interest in its closest neighbors – the nations of the Western Hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monroe asserted that the New World and the Old World were to remain distinctly separate spheres of influence, and thus further efforts by European powers to control or influence sovereign states in the region would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does Monroe think that the “systems” of Europe and the Western Hemisphere are fundamentally different? The systems of Europe as well as the western hemisphere are different because wars involving them the U.S. has never taken apart of and never will with its policy.
Detailed explanation-4: -The three main concepts of the doctrine-separate spheres of influence for the Americas and Europe, non-colonization, and non-intervention-were designed to signify a clear break between the New World and the autocratic realm of Europe.
Detailed explanation-5: -European countries, in general, largely ignored the Monroe Doctrine since the United States at the time lacked the military power or prowess to enforce its foreign policy.
