Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1823, a bankrupt republic with a tiny navy drew a line across the Atlantic and told the world's most powerful empires: Come no further.When President James Monroe delivered his seventh annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823, few recognized the revolutionary declaration buried within his routine administrative report. In fewer than 1,200 words, Monroe and his Secretary of State John Quincy Adams redefined the global order, asserting that the Western Hemisphere was closed to European colonization and that any European intervention in the Americas would be considered "dangerous" to U.S. interests.The declaration was audacious. The United States possessed neither the military power nor the diplomatic standing to enforce such sweeping claims. European politicians dismissed it as the pretentious boasting of an upstart republic. Yet the Monroe Doctrine would become the most enduring principle in American foreign policy, shaping two centuries of hemispheric relations and global power dynamics.The Monroe Doctrine: How 1823 Divided Two Worlds tells the complete story of this transformative policy-from its origins in the secret diplomatic intrigues of post-Napoleonic Europe to its controversial applications in the 21st century.Discover: The secret 1822 meeting where European monarchies plotted to reconquer Latin AmericaHow Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin's revolutionary wars created fragile new republics vulnerable to European interventionThe brilliant diplomatic maneuvering of British Foreign Secretary George Canning, who proposed an Anglo-American partnership to protect British commercial interestsJohn Quincy Adams's forceful rejection of British cooperation and his vision for unilateral American hemispheric leadershipThe carefully crafted language that deterred European powers without committing the United States to a war it couldn't winHow British naval power silently enforced an American doctrine for decadesThe transformation of a defensive policy into Theodore Roosevelt's aggressive "international police power."The dark history of American interventions justified by invoking Monroe's principlesThe Cuban Missile Crisis, when the doctrine brought the world to the brink of nuclear warThe covert CIA operations in Chile, Guatemala, and Nicaragua were conducted in the doctrine's nameThis meticulously researched narrative brings to life the personalities who shaped the doctrine: the aging Monroe, the last of the Revolutionary generation; the brilliant and combative John Quincy Adams; the pragmatic George Canning; and the Latin American leaders who saw the doctrine as both a protection and a threat.Through vivid storytelling grounded in primary sources, this book reveals how a principle designed to protect Latin American independence became the primary justification for American intervention in Latin American affairs. It examines the gap between American rhetoric about freedom and self-determination and American practice of supporting dictatorships and engineering coups.The Monroe Doctrine divided the world into two spheres. Two centuries later, we're still living with the consequences.Perfect for readers interested in: American diplomatic history and foreign policyLatin American history and U.S.-Latin American relationsThe origins of American global powerCold War interventions and covert operationsHow historical precedents shape contemporary policyThe gap between stated principles and actual practice in international relations"A masterful narrative that illuminates how a defensive doctrine became an offensive weapon and why that transformation matters today.
