Monroe Doctrine

Read a random definition: veredicto

A quick definition of Monroe Doctrine:

The Monroe Doctrine is a policy that says no other country can control or interfere with the countries in North and South America. It was first announced by President James Monroe in 1823. This policy is not a law, but it has been followed by the United States for over a century. Other countries in the Americas have not agreed to this policy and sometimes do not like it. The United States is the only country that can decide when and how to apply this policy.

A more thorough explanation:

The Monroe Doctrine is a principle that the United States will not allow any non-American nation to intervene or dominate in the Western Hemisphere. It was first announced by President James Monroe in 1823.

For example, if a European country tried to colonize a country in South America, the United States would not allow it. This principle has some recognition in international law, but it is not a formal doctrine.

It is important to note that the Monroe Doctrine is not a rule of international law. It is a policy that the United States has followed for more than a century in its own interest. The United States claims the sole right to interpret the doctrine and applies it only as and when it chooses.

Overall, the Monroe Doctrine is a way for the United States to protect its interests in the Western Hemisphere and prevent other countries from gaining too much power in the region.
