The Monroe Doctrine was an effort by President James Monroe in 1823 to limit other European powers particularly Spain from settling colonies or province in the Western Hemisphere. It basically declared that the United States would recognize such trials as an act of hostility because America fear that Spain would try to regain it's colonies in Latin America. At the same time, the doctrine recorded that the U.S. would appreciate and not intervene with existing European colonies nor interrupt in the internal affairs of European countries.
