The Monroe Doctrine (actually written by John Quincy Adams), declared in December of 1823, was a superlative U.S. foreign policy statement. It was precipitated by various independence movements in South America and the U.S. government's desire to discourage European nations from colonizing the Americas. The doctrine claimed that the Americas ". . .are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers."
In the early 1900's, the Monroe Doctrine proved it's power. President Theodore Roosevelt aggressively enforced it during the Venezuela Border Dispute and in securing the independence of Cuba from abusive Spanish rule.
The Monroe Doctrine was beneficial because it kept European countries from continuing to colonize the U.S. after 1823. This established foreign policy for the U.S. It helped pave the way for continued expansion from the East coast to the West coast without interference of European powers. It protects the country's national interests by protecting those of the weaker nations. However, this began the United States need for power with Imperialism, which many people believe is a negative consequence.

The Monroe Doctrine became an important part of American foreign policy in 1823. It declared that the United States opposed any further colonization in the Americas by European powers and asserted American neutrality in European wars. The doctrine was seen as a statement of American dominance in the Western Hemisphere and set the stage for American intervention in the region in the years to come.
