President James Monroe and President Theodore Roosevelt both played significant roles in shaping U.S. foreign policy. Monroe is best known for the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted that the Western Hemisphere was off-limits to European colonization and intervention. Similarly, Roosevelt expanded on this idea with his Roosevelt Corollary, which justified intervention in Latin America to maintain stability and prevent European influence. Both presidents emphasized American influence and leadership in the Western Hemisphere.
