-Roosivelt Corollary and Monroe Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine was articulated in President James Monroe's seventh annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823. The European powers, according to Monroe, were obligated to respect the Western Hemisphere as the United States' sphere of interest. The Monroe Doctrine is the best known U.S. policy toward the western Hemisphere. The Doctrine warns European nations that the Untied states will not tolerate further colonization or puppet monarchs. Annual Message to Congress in 1904 and 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt expanded the Monroe Doctrine. Roosevelts corollary stated that not only were the nations of the Western Hemisphere not open to colonization by European powers, but that the United States had the responsibility to preserve order and protect life and property in those countries.
Personal Thoughts- I think Roosevelts Corollary was a smart idea to help strengthen the Monroe Doctrine. it made the relationship between united states and the countries in the Western Hemisphere stronger, and it kept european colonies away from these countries and kept them safe.
