2 déc. 1823 - Monroe Doctrine

Description:

A US foreign policy administered by President Monroe in his annual address to Congress. He declared that:
1) The US would stay out of European affairs
2) Europe should stay out of the Western Hemisphere
3) Any move on Western countries would be seen as a threat to the US
4) The US should be the dominant power in the Western Hemisphere

Nevertheless, the declaration was not particularly intimidating to Europe, who possessed far greater militaries at the time.
