    The Monroe Doctrine stated that the United States would intervene if European powers tried to colonize or expand in the Western Hemisphere to protect newly independent South American countries. This doctrine was later invoked during the Cold War to prevent Eastern influence in the Americas and demonstrated how U.S. military power had grown over the years to shape events outside its borders.

    #21 The Monroe Doctrine

    In 1823 president James Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine which stated that any western colonization or expansion by England would be met with U.S. Intervention. America did this in order to protect South America which was at the time almost completely independent. The Monroe Doctrine was also used several times throughout history including the cold war to protect America from Eastern influences. It was a great example of how America had grown militarily throughout the years.
