not to interfere with the internal affairs of
countries in the Western Hemisphere. He

independent countries (which had previously
been colonies). These principles of noninvolvement in the affairs of other countries
became known as the Monroe doctrine and
influenced US policy in the world for more
than a century.

President Roosevelt added the Roosevelt
Corollary to the Monroe doctrine in 1904. It

He added this policy because the US had
invested a lot of money in Latin America and
he was concerned that problems in Latin
American counties would cause the US to
loose money.
