DEF

(Dec. 2, 1823), a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy enunciated by President James Monroe in a public statement proclaiming three basic dicta: no further European colonization in the New World, abstention of the U.S. from European political affairs, and nonintervention of Europe in the governments of the Western Hemisphere.

OBS

Although the principles of 1823 were not referred to as the Monroe Doctrine until almost 30 years later, historians agree that the name is a valid one because of President Monroe's bold exercise of open diplomacy in the proclamation.
