If these were the sentiments of one of our founding fathers, how
has our country become so involved in foreign affairs?

The Monroe DoctrineDecember 2, 1823
![Page 5: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Context of the Doctrine
• By 1825, all Latin American countries, except for Cuba and Puerto Rico, had gained independence from Spain.
• In 1822, Brazil had gained independence from Portugal

And yet, it appeared the Europe might still colonization in Latin
America!

With the Napoleonic Wars over, the US was concerned that the victorious European countries
would work to restore monarchical governments in
Europe.

At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, The Holy Alliance was
formed by Russia, Austria, and Prussia.

The Holy Alliance’s main goal was to defend monarchies in Europe.
![Page 12: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
They also authorized the use of their militaries to reinstate the Spanish monarchy in Spain and
its colonies.

Although Britain had been part of the Quadruple Alliance, with Austria, Prussia, and Russia , to
defeat Napoleon, Britain did not join the Holy Alliance.
![Page 14: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Britain and the US
Were enjoying profitable trade with the independent Latin American countries
![Page 15: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
And then…Russia claimed Alaska and said their territory extended into Oregon…
![Page 16: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• But, Oregon was also claimed by: –Britain– The US
![Page 18: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Britain and the US
The British foreign minister suggested a joint statement saying that both countries opposed intervention in Latin America and that neither would try to acquire it for themselves
![Page 19: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Should the US join in Britain’s statement?Some backed signing the agreement
Others, such as Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, argued that it would look as if the US were following “in the wake of the British man-of-war”.
![Page 20: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Well, what is a “British Man of War?”
![Page 21: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
So what did Adams mean?
![Page 22: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why would Britain be considered a force to be reckoned with?
![Page 23: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why would the US not be considered a threat?
![Page 25: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
President Monroe chose to act alone.
In an address to Congress, he introduced the doctrine in two widely separated passages.
![Page 26: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
So what happened next?
![Page 27: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So what happened next?The Holy Alliance never intervened in Latin America!
![Page 28: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
So what happened next?The Holy Alliance never intervened in Latin America!
Russia agreed to withdraw from Oregon
![Page 29: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
So the Monroe Doctrine was an immediate success!
![Page 30: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hmmmm
![Page 31: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
If one event happens after another event, does that mean
the first event caused the second event?
![Page 32: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• The Holy Alliance never invaded Latin America, but not out of fear of the US.
• If they actually ever considered it,
it was because of fear of the British Navy!
![Page 33: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Russia withdrew from Oregon…but not out of fear of the US but because they were overextended.
![Page 34: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Russia withdrew from Oregon…but not out of fear of the US but because they were overextended.
They could not effectively govern anything in North America all the way from St.Petersburg!
![Page 35: Monroe Doctrine Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/588771041a28ab22358b66f7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What did the US need to make the Monroe Doctrine effective?
