LAD Blog #10 Monroe Doctrine

The Monroe Doctrine, states that the United States does not want to become involved in other nations affairs or conflicts. Regarding Russia and many other nation's desire to impose on American territory. The United States feels that unless they are directly threatened, that for the time being should remain out of war and conflict. They feel that after all the battles and war before, America needs a time to rebuild their nation and neutraility is their best option. Monroe stated that if European nations wished to be like the United States, that they should follow in their foot steps and would have better control of their nation. Monroe also, states that if America does not change their ways, that other nations will begin to try and take control of America. Adding that if other nations attempted to colonize America, or run other nations that they would disrupt peace among countries. Concluding, that Monroe felt that other nations should not attempt to colonize any more of the New World and remain neutral, just like the United States.
