The Monroe Doctrine simply stated that the west will not interfere with the affairs of Europe as long as they didn't interfere with us. This enabled us to be able to deal with the smaller countries and help them reform their government. The Monroe doctrine allowed the United States to become "protectors" of the smaller countries in the western hemisphere.
The Monroe Doctrine, established in 1823 by President James Monroe, protected newly independent nations in the Americas from European colonization and asserted U.S. influence in the region. It positioned America as a dominant power while promoting national independence from European affairs. The doctrine also laid the foundation for future U.S. foreign policy interventions in Latin America.
