Detailed explanation-1: -The Monroe Doctrine was drafted because the U.S. government was worried that European powers would encroach on the U.S. sphere of influence by carving out colonial territories in the Americas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many saw Monroe’s policy as nationalistic. Some citizens opposed the Monroe Doctrine’s implied commitment to go to war if Europe interfered in the Western Hemisphere. They wanted the United States to remain isolated. Isolationism refers to staying out of other nations’ affairs.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
