Which doctrine warned the European powers not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere?

• B. Madison doctrine
• C. Monroe doctrine
• D. Washington doctrine

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Monroe doctrine

President James Monroe's 1823 annual message to Congress contained the Monroe Doctrine, which warned European powers not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. The doctrine warns European nations that the United States would not tolerate further colonization or puppet monarchs. The doctrine was conceived to meet major concerns of the moment, but it soon became a watchword of U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere.
