The significant doctrine articulated by President Monroe regarding foreign policy in the Americas is known as the Monroe Doctrine. Announced in 1823, it stated that European powers should no longer colonize or interfere with the affairs of the Americas. In exchange, the U.S. would avoid involvement in European wars and conflicts. The doctrine was pivotal in establishing the Western Hemisphere as a sphere of influence for American policy and asserted a significant shift in U.S. foreign relations. It aimed to prevent European intervention and protect the sovereignty of newly independent nations in Latin America, effectively laying the groundwork for future American foreign policy.
