  6. The Monroe Doctrine • The Monroe Doctrine stated that: • The United States would stay out of European Affairs • The United States would recognize and not interfere with existing European Colonies • The Western Hemisphere was off limits to future colonization • Any Attempt of colonization by Europe would be a hostile act and could lead to war
