Monroe Doctrine: Western Hemisphere
built 645 days ago
The Monroe Doctrine occurred on December 2, 1823. It was a statement by the United States saying that European countries could no longer colonize or be any part of any new nations in the western hemisphere. The United States said that they wouldn’t interfere with European affairs so it would only be fair that Europe wouldn’t take place in anything in the west. The importance was that it showed that the Americans were becoming a stronger country and a huge sense of nationalism. John Quincy Adams was a huge player in the Monroe Doctrine. At the time he was a diplomat to foreign countries.

The Monroe Doctrine left lasting impressions in the Western world, as well as America's reputation. Although the US did emerge as a world protector, it ... deteriorated its relations with Europe. Ironically, many Americans have blindly adhered to the principles that the Monroe Doctrine sets forth. In the field of politics, there are few more unqualified faiths than the faith of the American people in the Monroe Doctrine. Few can define it; but that does not matter. The actual reasons the Doctrine came about leave many to question if it was meant to protect the Western world or just one man running for President in 1824.

The Doctrine was delivered in 1823, by President James Monroe. He declared the U.S. policy towards other nations, especially European, to Congress. He stated that the United States would no longer allow further colonization in the Western Hemisphere by other European nations. This was the “American Hemisphere”. This bold statement was applauded by the American public as they stood up for themselves, but it was soon forgotten because they were more concerned with domestic issues that hit closer to home. But ... it was used as the cornerstone for U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America later on.

A speech given by President Monroe to Congress, the Monroe Doctrine stated that Europe should not colonize or mettle in the affairs of the Americas. It promised the US’ neutrality in conflicts between Europe and its colonies unless the conflicts occurred in the Americas, in which case the US would see the act as hostile. It was later expanded, under President Grant, to bar the transfer of Western Hemisphere countries from one European country to another, and to allow the US intervention in the Americas.
