3. U.S.A. involvement

• Many Latin Americans feared the European
  countries would try to reconquer (take over) the
  new nations. The United States also feared the
  Europeans would try to come back and reclaim the
  lands to the south.

What is the Monroe Doctrine?

• Therefore, in 1823 President James Monroe issued
  a statement saying,
• the American continentsare henceforth NOT to be
  considered subjects for future colonization by
  ANY European powers.
• This statement became known as the Monroe
  Doctrine.

13
What does that mean????

• The U.S.A. president was therefore saying that
  once countries won or were granted independence
  in the Americas, they could NOT be re-colonized!

• If European countries try to re-colonize, the
  U.S.A. will help Latin American countries fight.
