Yes, the doctrine was in place (I would argue it was abandoned first by Wilson), but the whole geopolitical landscape didn't change as a result of Monroe's presidency. Foreign policy, even in the Western hemisphere, was an afterthought.

Yes, I know that J.Q. Adams wrote the "Monroe Doctrine," but it was Monroe who appointed JQA as secretary of state.
