Unit 4 - Day 3: Presidential Foreign Policy during Imperialism (Quizizz)

​Reminder: What Was the Monroe Doctrine?

📜 Monroe Doctrine (1823)

• A major U.S. foreign policy statement from President James Monroe

• Said that Europe should stay out of the Americas (North, Central, and South)

• In return, the U.S. would stay out of European affairs

🌎 Key Points:

• No new European colonies in the Western Hemisphere

• If Europe tried to interfere, the U.S. would see it as a threat

• Originally meant to protect newly independent Latin American nations
  
  

🔗 Why This Matters Later:

• Later presidents (like Roosevelt) used it to justify U.S. action in Latin America

• Roosevelt added the Roosevelt Corollary, giving the U.S. power to act like a “police force” in the region
  
  

🧠 Think About It:
➡️ The Monroe Doctrine started as a defensive policy—but later it became more aggressive through imperialism.
