December 2, 1823
In his annual message to Congress, President Monroe - at the urging of John Quincy Adams - warned Europe to stay out of the Americas. It was bluster: the Royal Navy did the enforcing. But the doctrine would become the central conceit of United States foreign policy for a hundred and fifty years.
