It stated that further efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with states in North or South America would be viewed as acts of aggression requiring U.S. intervention. The intent and impact of the Monroe Doctrine persisted with only minor variations for almost two centuries. Its primary objective was to free the newly independent colonies of Latin America from European intervention.

RAIVIN WEBSTER said...

the monroe was important because December 2, 1823, stated that European powers were no longer to colonize or interfere with the affairs of the newly independent states of the Americas. The United States would not interfere with existing colonies or their dependencies in the western hemisphere.It was believed that France, which had invaded Spain and restored its former king to the throne, was behind Spanish intentions to become involved again in South America. European powers should not interfere in the western hemisphere became an important part of American foreign policy.

and it is still important because it say that we are allowed to colonize and we aint gat the right to tell nobody that they cant

The Monroe Doctrine was important because it stated that efforts by europeans to colonize land or interfere with the states in North or South America would be viewed as aggression and required U.S intervention. The Monroe Doctrine is important today because if we didn't have it then the Europeans could come to north or south America and colonize anywhere they wanted to. But since we do have the monroe doctrine then if they try to colonize on American land then the government and the army would make a stop to it.
