2 dic 1823 año - The Monroe Doctrine

Descripción:

On this date, President James Monroe drew a line down the entire Atlantic Ocean and declared, "You see this line right here, Europe? That side's yours and this one's mine. Don't you even think about crossing it ever again. Or else" They didn't know it at the time, but seventy-five years later, this U.S. foreign policy of keeping an eye on the Americas (All of them) would lead them to a war with Spain. And thus the predicament of owning the Philippine Islands.
