LAD # 8: Monroe Doctrine

In the Monroe Doctrine which was issued by James Monroe in 1823, he wrote on the issue of the United States in order to proclaim his opinion that the European powers should no longer be able to colonize the new American nation. In it, it first states that the U.S, along with Great Britain, and the Russian Empire have entered into negotiations about the 3 national claims to the northwestern territory of North America. The President, James Monroe expressed his beliefs. He believed that the results of such a negotiation would be that no European powers would rethink their decision to ever again colonize any part of North America because the United States was already beginning to expand into that area of land.
Another part of the Monroe Doctrine said that the United States believed Europe had been created within itself to make a tangling group of alliances and because of such alliances the United States would have to deal with this single handedly, and make their own alliances with the territories of South America; these American nations would appreciate that the United States keep themselves free from other interconnected alliances with any of the European powers too.
The Doctrine next deals with what of Europe still remained highly unsettled at the time with some clear examples of such problems being in Portugal and Spain, but the European powers did not see however, the inappropriateness of interfering on the Iberian Peninsula with great force! The United States reaffirmed that it would maintain its status as a neutral power in the European wars partially because they had taken advice from such praise worthy President Washington.
To finally close up all lose ends in the Monroe Doctrine, the States of the U.S.’s government believes that the governments of the South American and Spanish because of such distances apart and their large, yet relative strength should not take a hand in joining any colony or mother country ever again. As the United States of American continues to maintain its neutral policy’s and position between the European Countries, they would see a movement of European power to put more influence on South American countries greatly threatening American security and then would have to willingly respond, quickly and accordingly.
