Why did the US proclaim the monroe doctrine?
Even though British and US interests were at odds many times in the 19th century, Britain did support the Monroe Doctrine. In about 1820 the only colonial empire that could rival Britain's was that of Spain. Britain did not want Spain to reconquer its empire in the Americas, which had recently become independent. As a result, Britain supported the Monroe Doctrine in order to prevent this possible Spanish territorial reconquest.
Why was the Monroe doctrine 1823 of such importance to the US?
The Monroe Doctrine was important to The US and Great Britain as well. The doctrine was aimed primarily at France and Russia. It in fact had the blessing of Great Britain. The economics of it were of prime concern to Great Britain for several reasons. By declaring that the Western Hemisphere was no longer open to further colonization by the Great Powers of Europe, the doctrine also declared that the US would have no interest in making colonies for itself. This was welcomed by Great Britain as it owned Canada. It also, via its naval fleet protected its commercial interests with the newly independent nations of Latin America. Further to this, it laid out a warning to Russia concerning its activities in the great northwest, which helped Great Britain as well. The doctrine laid a foundation for preventing France to take adventures in the Western Hemisphere. And, that concern was genuine as later in the century Mexico became a target for French imperialism.
Who was the Secretary of State who supported the Monroe Doctrine?
According to the US Department of State website as well as the US National Archives website, John Quincy Adams was the secretary of state when the 1823 Monroe Doctrine was issued. He was appointed as secretary of state by President James Monroe on March 5, 1817.In addition, Great Britain was in favor of the Doctrine. Since they held New World possessions, this helped them too.
What hemisphere did the Monroe doctrine cover?
The Monroe Doctrine covered the Western Hemisphere. At the time, Great Britain applauded this doctrine in that it then considered its North American holdings, such as Canada, safe. Violations did occur however and were treated not specifically to be Monroe Doctrine ones. By this I mean the installation of a French puppet regime in Mexico. After the US Civil War, assembling US troops on the Mexican border, and threatening to invade Mexico was enough for France to abandon this idea. Regardless of the Doctrine, the US used its military to protect its own national security.
