LAD #10 - Monroe Doctrine

Read the Monroe Doctrine - summarize



The Monroe Doctrine was essentially an announcement to Europe that stated that they are no longer allowed to colonize or claim territory. This document explains America's foreign policy and how American wants to stay out of foreign affairs because they cannot succeed  with foreign countries holding power in their nation. It also stated that they wanted to stay out of foreign affairs because all they do is cause conflicts and tangle Americans in problems that they want to avoid. The Monroe Doctrine is a strict foreign policy and limits the contacts that American had with outside nations. Therefore, Monroe Doctrine was an announcement that made it clear that America was growing into an independent nation and their foreign policy was isolation.
