The primary reason for the announcement of the monroe doctrine in 1823 was a) a fear of european involvement in latin america. b) a desire to annex the independent territory of texas. c) to end the lingering hostility toward britain after the war of 1812. d) to justify the annexation of hawaii and alaska into the united states.

A)a fear of European involvement in Latin America.

The Monroe Doctrine was a United States strategy of confronting European colonialism in the U.S starting in 1823. It declared that additional efforts by European states to take charge of an independent nation in North or South U.S would be observed as "the demonstration of a contrary disposition proceeding the United States." At the same event, the doctrine perceived that the U.S. would realize and not interpose with surviving European colonies nor interrupt in the internal affairs of European lands.

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.
