The Monroe Doctrine and Expansion When European countries were thinking about fighting to regain colonies in Latin America, some citizens of the United States thought this was a danger to the United States. The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 said the United States would not allow any European country to try to create new colonies anywhere in North or South America. In return, the United States would not get involved in any European political affairs. During the first seventy years after the Revolutionary War, the boundaries of the United States kept expanding, through negotiations, purchases, and wars.
