Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Monroe Doctrine was a policy announced by President James Monroe in 1823, which declared that the United States would not tolerate any further colonization or intervention by European powers in the Americas. This doctrine was largely aimed at preventing any attempts by European powers to regain control over the newly independent Latin American countries, but it also marked a turning point in American foreign policy and established the US as a dominant power in the Western Hemisphere.
