Answer: showed the US backed the independence of Latin America.

Explanation:

The United States was still young at the time the Monroe Doctrine was declared, and did not have a powerful navy to be patrolling the South American coast at that time. But the US did want to keep European powers from encroaching into the Western Hemisphere, and wanted to put Europe on notice to that effect.

President James Monroe asserted the doctrine in his annual address to Congress in 1823. The doctrine was that the US would not interfere in European affairs, but also would view any attempts by European powers to take control of any nation in the Western Hemisphere as a hostile act against the United States.

As reported by the US Office of the Historian, there were some additional motives in mind in the US position, in addition to backing the independence of Latin American nations. "Monroe’s administration forewarned the imperial European powers against interfering in the affairs of the newly independent Latin American states or potential United States territories. While Americans generally objected to European colonies in the New World, they also desired to increase United States influence and trading ties throughout the region to their south."

The Monroe Doctrine was important because it stated that the newly independent United States would not tolerate European powers interfering with the nations in the Western Hemisphere, and if the European powers did interfere, then the United States would retaliate with war.

How was the headline that made the US citizens react with outrage and demand that something be done in Cuba

Tems11 [23]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Unfortunately, you did not specify the time in the US history of this situation.

Throughout history, the United States and Cuba have had many differences and difficult moments. It could be in the Spanish-American War, it could be in Fidel Castros' rise to power in Cuba, it could be the bef¿ginning of Communism in Cuba, it could be the Cuban Missiles Crisis during the Cold War, the Cuba embargo, and so many more.

Which one are you referring to?

Tryin to help you with something of value, we are going to assume you are talking about the Spanish-American War context, in which American Yellow newspapers played an important role to get the US into the war, after the sinking of the USS Maine.

During the coverage of the news in Cuba during the Cuban Independence movement against Spain, the United States decided to closely oversee the situation and send the US navy to the Island of Cuba.

The USS Maine was anchored off the coast of La Havan, the capital city of Cuba when it was sunk.

The kind of press coverage from American Newspapers such as The New York Journal, owned by Randolph Hearst, and the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer, directed impacted the US citizen's reaction with outrage and demanded that something could be done in Cuba.

Those two owners were big rivals or enemies, we could say. And they practiced the "yellow" or sensationalistic journalism style to create drama in their audiences and sell more newspapers.
