Detailed explanation-1: -The Monroe Doctrine is the best known American policy toward the Western Hemisphere. Buried in an annual message delivered to Congress by President James Munro in December 1823, the doctrine warns European countries that the United States will no longer tolerate a colonized or puppet emperor.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
