The Monroe Doctrine was issued in 1823. This would become a central part of American foreign policy throughout the 19th century. In a speech before Congress, Monroe warned European powers against expansion and intervention in the Western Hemisphere. At the time, it was necessary for the British to help enforce the doctrine. Along with [|Theodore Roosevelt’s] Roosevelt Corollary and [|Franklin D. Roosevelt’s] Good Neighbor policy, the Monroe Doctrine is still an important part of American foreign policy.
