President Cleveland risked war with Great Britain in 1895 during the Venezuela issue to enforce the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine opposed the imperialist ambitions of European nations in America. It can be synthesized with the phrase "America for the Americans". Following this criteria, president Cleveland accepted a Venezuelan request for arbitration in a border dispute with Great Britain.
British held domains in Guyana since the early 19th century and claimed possession over the Orinoco river. Their claims included Venezuelan territory.
When Venezuela asked the USA for arbitration in the conflict, President Cleveland sent an emphatic missive to Great Britain and naval vessels to confront British warships in the Caribbean. In this way, he pressed Great Britain into accepting arbitration.
