Respuesta :
After 1815, a number of spain's colonies in america began to claim independence from spain. President Monroe announced a 'Doctrine," in which the United States declared Latin America aspart of the "U.S. Sphere" of influence, and he also promised to defend Latin America from any European invasion.
The Monroe Doctrine, which takes its
name after President James Monroe, the
5th president of the United States, was
established to oppose European colonialism.
In 1823, the United States had already been
a free country for a few decades. However,
independence processes were still
happening all over Latin America. Spanish
and Portuguese colonies were only then
declaring their freedom.
Monroe's doctrine had the purpose of
preventing countries such as Spain and
Portugal from taking over their colonies
again. It basically stated that the U.S. would
not allow European interference in America.
Of course, the reasons behind such a
decision were not completely altruistic.
It was much more profitable for the U.S.
to engage in trade with free countries.
Colonies are not allowed to engage in trade
with any other country besides the one
colonizing them.
