The Monroe Doctrine primarily asserted that the Americas should be free from European colonial influence and that any European intervention in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere would be seen as a threat to the peace and safety of the United States. It did not advocate for American involvement in all wars, protection of human rights in other nations, or assistance in colonization. Instead, it established a policy of opposing European expansion in the Americas and emphasized American interests in the Western Hemisphere.
