LAD #10/ Monroe Doctrine

James Monroe
  On December 2nd, 1823, President Monroe addressed all of the European powers. James Monroe says that the Europeans may not colonize any more of the "new world" from here on in. Powers including Russia, Great Britain and the Untied States, have all agreed that it would be best if colonization ended and they only focused on Domestic problems. Monroe was worried that any attempt to colonize any nations near or around the United states, would be a threat to America's security. Not only would we feel threatened, but we would have to make appropriate actions. This document, created a new idea of Independence for nations like Mexico and Chile and allowed these nations to become independent.
