Effects of the monroe doctrine

A number of additions to the foreign policy of the United States of America not only increased the tension between the US and the world. Among these additions are the Monroe Doctrine, the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, and the Truman Doctrine. Each one was added to defend and represent the interests of the United States of America. While doing so, those additions also "raised questions about the United States' role in the World." …

…for debate, we can clearly see that the US was looking after their own interests in making all of those decisions. Latin America was more of a strategic move them a friendly move. Latin America is pretty close to the USA, and the US didn't want any European nations having army bases there. So in other words an American would be right to question the motives of his country when it comes to foreign policy.
