Answer:
The Monroe Doctrine was drafted because the U.S. government was worried that European powers would encroach on the U.S. sphere of influence by carving out colonial territories in the Americas.
Explanation:
Mercantilism, the country needs a favorable balance of trade so it exports more than it imports goods. The mother country would import manufactured goods to the colony exporting raw materials in exchange. For example the Columbian exchange exported new foods and crops from the Americas such as maize, tobacco, sugar, cotton and potatoes. Horses were brought from Europe and introduced to the Native American people. For example: the Lakota mostly hunted buffalo and this practice was improved with the introduction of horses.

Answer:
In the 1200s, the way both European and East Asian society is pretty much the same. They both believed in the idea that there were a certain bloodline that must be obeyed the rest of the people and will be granted with the right to rule over them. There were basically no punishment for nobles who violate the rights of the commoners.
Even the way they operate their military is similar. They teach the value of 'Honor' to the soldiers as a basic principle in order to make them not afraid to sacrifice their lives in the battle field.
Between 1300 - 1600, European nations entered the renaissance period. The previous belief which made people think that nobles have the right to rule over everything were gradually changing. They started to developed the idea that the government should exist to protect the people, not the other way around. This was when the idea of democratic government started to expanded across Europe.
On the other hand, this idea just became popular in East Asia in mid 1500s. They also didn't get as much momentum as the one in Europe. As a result, East still adopted a very constricted view on human rights within this period and Government role's to protect it. Even in mid 1900s, japan still joined forces with the Nazi because they believed that they are destined to rule over Asia.
I think the United States was justified in sending troops to Cuba and the Philippines to fight against Spain because many Cubans flew to the USA to escape from the Spanish control. That act was a manifestation that they expected help from the USA, so the USA was morally compelled to take action.
