Analyzation of the Monroe Doctrine

The Monroe Doctrine was a turning point in American history and an even more significant document in overall world history. This is so because a fledgling nation makes a defiant staunch regarding its sovereignty and its statement that it will defend its hard earned independence. In world history, it protects the Western Hemisphere from greedy Europeans powers and gives way for the United States to expand. When colonies of European powers begin to dissent and eventually revolt, European allies may not step in and help their brethern with the balance of power. It also prevents wars like the Seven Years' War from repeating. The Seven Years' War is a very excellent example of what happened when European messes spilled over into its colonies.
