Reminder: What Was the Monroe Doctrine?
📜 Monroe Doctrine (1823)
A major U.S. foreign policy statement from President James Monroe
Said that Europe should stay out of the Americas (North, Central, and South)
In return, the U.S. would stay out of European affairs
🌎 Key Points:
No new European colonies in the Western Hemisphere
If Europe tried to interfere, the U.S. would see it as a threat
Originally meant to protect newly independent Latin American nations
🔗 Why This Matters Later:
Later presidents (like Roosevelt) used it to justify U.S. action in Latin America
Roosevelt added the Roosevelt Corollary, giving the U.S. power to act like a “police force” in the region
🧠 Think About It:
➡️ The Monroe Doctrine started as a defensive policy—but later it became more aggressive through imperialism.
