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: -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: -The Monroe Doctrine, starting in 1823, asserted American nationalism by marking off the Western Hemisphere as the United States’ sphere of influence. This was a major move on the part of the United States and President James Monroe.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
