United Nations The Monroe Doctrine is the best known U.S. policy toward the Western Hemisphere. The doctrine warns European nations that the United States would not tolerate further colonization or puppet monarchs. The United States did not keep a large standing army but that did not mean they were weak militarily. They had defeated the British and pirates in Tunis where Europe failed.
