Monroe Doctrine

  Basically, it warned European nations not to get
  involved in political matters in Central and

  could influence such political matters. Further,
  several countries in South American had recently
  undergone revolutions against their European
  colonial owners and ended up with republican
  governments. The United States agreed with their
  political philosophy and did not want to see
  those newly free nations become European colonies
  again.
