“Our policy in regard to Europe is not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers But in regard to those continents [of the Western Hemisphere], circumstances are eminently and conspicuously different. It is impossible that the allied [European] powers should extend their political system to any portion of either continent without endangering our peace and happiness”- President Monroe
