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_de_paz]

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

[@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.

[@margooramonaa]

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

[@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.

Thanks to you guys i might pass my ss test today

[@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.

[@TreasuredASMR]

This helped me soooooooooo much with my essay! Thank you Khan Academy!

[@grisellovalles5630]

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

[@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..

[@fresh-eggs]

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

[@YuSia-w1t]

1. Why did Spain not stop the South American rebellions immediately? 2. What economic system (from chapter 1) influences the desire for more wealth to the mother country? 3. Why did the British want South American countries to remain independent? 4. Why did the US not want to create a joint declaration with Britain? 5. What was the new "rhetoric" in the US at the time? 6. Why did European countries stop meddling with the Americas after the Monroe Doctrine? What did they fear would happen if they went against it? 7. What two things was the Monroe Doctrine an early expression of? 8. Do you think Monroe should have made the declaration of the Monroe Doctrine? why/why not?

[@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

[@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!

[@UnitedPebbles]

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

[@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

[@Freddie_0423]

Fantastic dynamic explanation

[@trashpanda8925]

thank you, if there would be sources and suggested literature under these it would be even better :D

[@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?

[@alfredprieto1294]

"Stay out of the Americas. . . because it's ours." No. It's OURS Mexicans and Natives.

[@adamblack267]

[@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

Thank You for the Enlightment.

[@limon914]

This is great. Thanks Kim!

[@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.

[@dso2805]

Brilliant video! Thank you so much

[@ahmadrahimkhan]

Thank you so much 😊 Appreciated

[@mkryza]

Terrific content.

[@Daniel-ht4wr]

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

[@wangzisworks]

[@SENOR_David]

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

[@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

[@marilialemos9492]

thank u khan

[@j_demus]

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

[@mirceadumitrutulvan3942]

but USA can go to do exactly the same to others

[@ernestolebron9915]

Hemisphere of democracy could have been true if The US wouldn't have gotten into the affair of those latin american Nation its true that some of those new latin American nation were corrupt but The US did not better the situation the us invasion of Dominican republic ETC.

[@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
