Answer:
William Henry Johnson (circa July 15, 1892 – July 1, 1929), commonly known as Henry Johnson, was a United States Army soldier who performed heroically in the first African American unit of the United States Army to engage in combat in World War I. On watch in the Argonne Forest on May 14, 1918, he fought off a German raid in hand-to-hand combat, killing multiple German soldiers and rescuing a fellow soldier while experiencing 21 wounds, in an action that was brought to the nation's attention by coverage in the New York World and The Saturday Evening Post later that year. On June 2, 2015 he was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama in a posthumous ceremony at the White House.
In 1918, racism against African Americans was common among white U.S. soldiers in the U.S. military, but French attitudes differed. Johnson was recognized by the French with a Croix de guerre with star and bronze palm, and was the first U.S. soldier in World War I to receive that honor.
Johnson died, poor and in obscurity, in 1929. From 1919 on, Henry Johnson's story has been part of wider consideration of treatment of African Americans in the Great War. There was a long struggle to achieve awards for him from the U.S. military. He was finally awarded the Purple Heart in 1996. In 2002, the U.S. military awarded him the Distinguished Service Cross. Previous efforts to secure the Medal of Honor failed, but in 2015 he was posthumously honored with the award.

b. the interest of European nations in creating colonies in North and South America
Explanation:
- Monroe's doctrine was America's policy of opposing European colonialism in America beginning in 1823.
- In 1823, US President James Monroe rebelled against the intervention of European countries on the American continent.
- The doctrine said that further efforts by European states to seize control of any independent state in North or South America would be seen as "a manifestation of a hostile attitude toward the United States."
- At that moment, directed against the interventionist intentions of the Holy Alliance of European Powers towards the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies in South America, that policy later became "America to Americans" and gained a strong national character.
