The Monroe doctrine was established two centuries ago, which helped America became free from the European Great Powers. This begun in 1823. President James Monroe stated this doctrine. Basically, separated the old world (Europe) with the new world (Latin American independent countries). This doctrine also claimed the United States would not interfere in the political affairs of Europe.  

When the U.S. emerged as a major world power and gained military and economy grow in the 20th century, the Monroe Doctrine justified a long series of U.S. interventions in Latin America. Fighting a war with Spain for Cuba, annexing Hawaii, then the World War I came along and engaged with European countries like allies. After the World War II and a wave of isolation, the Us was the most powerful economic power. The US funded the United Nations. The U.S. has successfully managed to identified enemies in order to continue with the interventions.
