What did the Monroe Doctrine have to do with Latin America?

Answer 1

Basically, President James Monroe was promising America will stay out of the European wars and colonialism as long as the European powers would stay out of America. It came at a pretty acceptable time because Europe had been fighting the Napoleonic wars and the Russo-Japanese War, we already purchased bought the Louisiana Purchase from the French in 1803, fought the British in the War of 1812, and negotiated with Spain for Florida in 1822. In addition, Chile, Argentina, and Venezuela had just won their independence. So everybody was ready for at least a little organization to the fighting.

Answer 2

The Monroe Doctrine was promulgated by President James Monroe during his seventh annual State of the Union Address to Congress in 1823. It prohibited colonization by European powers in North, Central, and South America and forbade them from interfering with the affairs of the newly independent nations in the New World. This policy, of course, would therefore extend to Latin America.

Answer 3

Monroe doctrine state USA will stay of neutral in wars between European powers and their colonies. Latin America was one of the colonies run by the european powers.

Answer 4
