The purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to warn European nations not to invade or colonize the western hemisphere. It was a US policy that was introduced on December 2, 1823 which stated that efforts by European countries to colonize land or otherwise interfere in the Americas would be viewed by the United States as acts of aggression.
