The Monroe Doctrine

[@Jason-ke4jf]

I'm so glad you guys have started teaching history as well as math and the sciences. It's so helpful to me! Thanks a lot. Khanacademy is a lifesaver.

[@kaleomariz1000]

My U.S. history teacher said: “did you ever watch a documentary on bears? The baby bear roars in order to intimidate its foe. The foe gets intimidated. But not because of baby bear. But because of big mama bear behind him scaring the foe.” The baby bear was America trying to intimidate the world with the Monroe doctrine. And big momma bear was the British Empire whose interest was to keep the independence of the new Latin American nations.

[@ArcSine-]

& now the big mama bear is old, the Baby bear has grown to be just like his mother,basically replaced her.

[@kaleomariz1000]

@@ArcSine- You bet! 😌 Mama bear is so old and weary!

[@kennethmonroe3046]

That's one way to look at it. Misguided but ok.

[@anthony_depaz]

Baby bear grew up to be a bloodthirsty war-machine

thanks for posting 68 years old and I make it point to learn something new everyday and un-learn something old

[@margooramonaa]

This was super helpful, Thank you so much. I might pass my course now :O

[@thePronto]

I just remembered how my teachers made history so tedious. For goodness sake lose the 'chalk and talk' and get your key points into a slide so that you can talk at normal speed...

The End of European Colonialism and the Beginning of American Imperialism (Neo colonialism)

[@terrylovin7405]

This is an important lesson to the world as we watch what is happening with Russia/Ukraine and the implied influence the US and the EU is imposing on Ukraine with NATO.

[@daklinter3605]

Wouldnt that mean that Russia influencing Belarus or countries like Syria or the Central Asian countries is also bad

[@dswag8495]

A country only joins NATO if they want to and if every member in NATO says it's ok..... There is much of say in the member nations compared to a nation being colonized by a foreign power.

[@adamblack267]

NATO (let’s be real the USA) is encroaching on Russia’s sphere of influence. Don’t forget the CIA backed coup back in 2014.

[@Germanaugustomorales]

Actually, it was not the Venezuelan movement of independence. It was the Gran Colombia movement of independence. Led by Simon Bolivar, who was Venezuelan but it was supported by Colombian guerilla troops. The Venezuelan aristocrats turned their back on Simon Bolivar until he had already obtained the independence of Colombia first. Then they joined for fear that Simon Bolivar and his "mug" were going to take control over the Nueva Granada.

[@baller15g]

Great video and a beautiful voice. Thank you!

[@ethankwon8364]

Thanks to you guys i might pass my ss test today

[@tardisnossa7510]

Oh! Monroe doctrine is this! Wow! I liked it! But, i am have a question: If the USA not like monarchies in AMERICA, why the relationships with my country, Brazil when its was a empire are very good? Thank you for pay attention

[@Daniel-ht4wr]

I thought the Monroe doctrine was basically America calling "dibs"

[@wangzisworks]

是的

[@khamessirania5060]

[@trashpanda8925]

[@grisellovalles5630]

The Haitian revolution was a major spark for Latin American revolution. Why is that never mentioned?

[@fresh-eggs]

The Monroe Doctrine might be coming to an end with this Guyana vs Venezuela land issue

[@FULANODETAL]

Monroe doctrine dont apply to BELIZE,bahamas,all commonwealth caribbean islands,canada,curacao, martinique,barbados, the 3 guayanas,,of course only applies in spanish main

[@Tappedline]

And NOW The USA has done the Monroe Doctrine to the Middle East wow things change

[@fredpeterarope9802]

The problem with it is that it is not okay to meddle with the US affairs yet it is okay now for the US to meddle with somebody else's affairs.. tsk tsk..

[@demayoexperience]

So help me understand, who appointed the US to speak for other countries in the Americas ? What if other countries wanted to become part of an empire in Europe or have a European monarch? Was this to ensure European crowns stayed away from the resources in the Americas and solely the US would control the political aspect and resources of this hemisphere?

[@WispyKatt]

"They didn't really win, yet they didn't really lose." In that war, a draw for the USA is a win for the USA

[@MrLesonfireforGod]

Although there is obvious merit in your thoughts on America being a flea on Britain's back at the time, I personally believe their ability to hold their own in the war of 1812 must have meant something and given some weight to the Monroe Doctrine.

[@UnitedPebbles]

US laws can not be guarantee in effect in other foreign countries/territories!!!! They have their own sovereign.

[@albert75911]

Eventhough Militarily the USA was not a powerful country around the world and not even in American continent, this proves how bold, gutsy, courageous these American heros were. Basically, you countries around the world would try to invade any country and you will answer to the USA Militarily or any other way. Those are big balls!

[@limon914]

This is great. Thanks Kim!

[@h4zelkat]

Thank you so much 😊 Appreciated

[@sjv9147s]

Summary. Keep 'em others down and low, never to come even a-half close to the US in any or every sector of economic industrialization, technology and military might. To never allow competition to a level where the US is threatened by the adversary. The doctrine is a Zero-Sum game except that it isn't a game but a matter of life and death for the country to stay as the foremost superpower of the world, therefore, accorded all the attendant peculiar riches and exclusive privileges as such.

[@dso2805]

Brilliant video! Thank you so much

One of the most important doctrines in U.S. History

[@mkryza]

Terrific content.

[@SENOR_David]

Monroe was the best president and definitely was a good policy to put out.

[@j_demus]

the problem is those monarchies that survived are the best systems of government at tis time

[@ryansluhocki2383]

Thanks this was helpful !

[@UnitedPebbles]

First paragraph mean until they are independent. Basically, continue the king Carlo Catholic tradition, you understand? No other kings can interfere? Monroe doctrine is not Constitutional law!!!!!

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

I was curious whether the 1982 Falklands War with the British in Argentina violated the Monroe Doctrine because that is a European power basically you don't have fighting with the American a country you know of the Americas that the United States was supposed to protect

[@mirceadumitrutulvan3942]

but USA can go to do exactly the same to others

[@Eeashwarsai]

On the same token , USA do not interfere in others countries matters ether .

[@ismaelmad1]

So the Malvinas, Belize, Jamaica, French Guiana and the Netherlands what? It seems something only against Spain...

[@ALBANIAN4FREDOM]

You said the Europe cant interfered into the USA, what about the World Economic Forum, is interfering into our country

[@andrewforte3852]

They call Great Britain and the United States of America an Anglo-American world power for a reason. The United States is just an extension and reflection of Great Britain. Which are similar in their laws and customs in many ways. While controlling and sharing 3/4 of the world as a police force. After World War 1 then known as the Great War, Great Britain became the lesser, while America became the stronger, hence, they've always had, ever since the 13 British colonies established itself, a symbiotic relationship, what affects one, will affect the other, and vice versa.

[@death2colonialism]

The relationship ship any colonizer will have with a colony is by definition parasitic not symbiotic

[@aze5058]

I'm french, i understand 1/2 information x) Any lecon in french about monroe doctrine :/

[@dootdoot1867]

How do people know what someone in 1800's meant? Lol.
