Someone had to put a limit to the imperialistic and expansionistic ideas of the European powers. It was James Monroe. In 1823, United States President James Monroe considered that it was time for the United States to protect the interests of North and South America. He established a solid foreign policy known as the "Monroe Doctrine" in which the US prohibited European nations to continue conquering territories in the Americas. To do this, President Monroe assured the European nations that the United States would refrain to intervene in European issues.
