The Monroe Doctrine is a United States foreign policy principle articulated by President James Monroe in his December 2, 1823, annual message to Congress.
It declared that the Western Hemisphere was closed to future European colonization and that any attempt by European powers to interfere in the Americas would be viewed as a hostile act against the United States.
The doctrine established separate spheres of influence between the Americas and Europe, affirming that the United States would not interfere in European affairs or existing European colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
The doctrine emerged in response to concerns about European powers, particularly Spain, France, and Russia, potentially reasserting colonial control over newly independent Latin American nations or expanding into regions like the Oregon Territory.
Although the United States lacked the military strength to enforce the doctrine initially, it was supported by British naval power, which shared an interest in preventing European recolonization.
The British had proposed a joint declaration with the U.S., but Secretary of State John Quincy Adams opposed it, arguing that a unilateral declaration would better safeguard American expansionist ambitions and assert U.S. independence in foreign policy.
The Monroe Doctrine was not a formal military or diplomatic plan at the time of its announcement, but rather a statement of principle.
Over time, it evolved into a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, especially after the late 19th and early 20th centuries when American power grew. The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, introduced in 1904, expanded its scope by asserting the United States’ right to intervene in Latin American countries to stabilize the region, effectively justifying U.S. interventionism.
In modern times, the doctrine has been invoked to oppose foreign influence in the Western Hemisphere, and in December 2025, the U.S. President reaffirmed the doctrine under a new “Trump Corollary,” emphasizing American sovereignty and the control of the hemisphere by its own people rather than foreign or global institutions.
