Detailed explanation-1: -European monarchs were offended by the Monroe Doctrine because it stated that it was the foreign policy of the United States government that no further European colonization in the New World would be allowed.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. In return, Monroe committed to not interfere in the affairs, conflicts, and extant colonial enterprises of European states.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.

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.
