The principle that nations have a greater interest in territories contiguous to their borders is known as the Monroe Doctrine. This doctrine was proclaimed by President Monroe in 1823 and it stated that the US would consider any attempt by European powers to establish new colonies in the Americas as dangerous to the peace and safety of the US. This doctrine reflected the US's belief that they had a greater interest in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere than any other part of the world.
