IN PERSON- The Monroe Doctrine

This program will be delivered via Zoom and will be streamed to our Kingsley Room. If you want to watch the program from home, register here.

December 2023 marked the 200th anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine.  The Monroe Doctrine is the American foreign policy set in 1823, that the United States forewarned the imperial European powers against interfering in the affairs of the newly independent Latin American states or potential United States territories. The Monroe Doctrine set the stage for continued American expansion, west across this great and wondrous land. Join us as we explore the history and impact of the Monroe Doctrine.
