The Monroe Doctrine addressed the American continent domination in 1823. It was a foreign policy. According to it, all the European efforts to colonize or interfere with the states in the region would be acts of aggression. Hence, the United States had to intervene. It also claimed that America could not meddle in the affairs of the existing European colonies or the internal concerns of the countries. The U.S. issued the Doctrine in 1823. At that time, Latin America was almost gaining its independence (Sexton, 2011).
Before the Monroe Doctrine, the United States was working on an agreement with Britain. The two wanted to ensure that not European would disturb them. It took its name from the U.S. President James Monroe. He talked about the Doctrine during the State of the Union Address. It was his seventh annual speech. The coining of the term was in 1850. It is one of the United States foreign policy's defining moment. Also, it is one of the longest-standing tenets. Later, many statesmen and presidents would invoke it.
The Monroe Doctrine persisted for more than a century. The objective was to help the newly independent colonies, which were in Latin America. It would avoid all the situations that would make the New World the slave of the Old World powers. The real reason what to enable the U.S. exerst its influence without disturbance. The two regions had to remain as distinct spheres. They were separate nations and had to stay so (Perkins, 1927).
