the monroe doctrine aimed to free the americas from european influence.
which area did the monroe doctrine aim to free from european influence?
the americas
the roosevelt corollary was invoked to intervene militarily in latin america to stop the spread of european influence. it was the most significant amendment to the original doctrine and was widely opposed by critics, who argued that the monroe doctrine was originally meant to stop european influence in the americas. they argued that the corollary simply asserted u.s. domination in that area, effectively making them a "hemispheric policeman."

monroe doctrine
the clark memorandum rejected the view that the roosevelt corollary was based on the monroe doctrine. however, it was not a complete repudiation of the roosevelt corollary but was rather a statement that any intervention by the u.s. was not sanctioned by the monroe doctrine but rather was the right of america as a state. this separated the roosevelt corollary from the monroe doctrine by noting that the monroe doctrine only applied to situations involving european countries. one main point in the clark memorandum was to note that the monroe doctrine was based on conflicts of interest only between the united states and european nations, rather than between the united states and latin american nations.
