LAD 9: The Monroe Doctorine

The Monroe Doctrine states to the European powers that they do not have the right to colonize or interfere with the American states. Monroe did say that they would not interfere with any current colonies on the continent. This Doctrine was to show the rest of the world that America was an independent, free, self-sufficient nation and the other countries had to accept that. The Doctrine stated that violation of this act would result with war. America was done being pushed around and this Doctrine is prove of that.
