Why do you think the United States established the Monroe Doctrine? What was the
purpose of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America and the Pacific Ocean?

Respuesta :

In 1823 U.S. President James Monroe proclaimed the U.S. protector of the Western Hemisphere by forbidding European powers from colonizing additional territories in the Americas. In return, Monroe committed to not interfere in the affairs, conflicts, and extant colonial enterprises of European states.
