Monroe Doctrine.

Explanation:

Monroe Doctrine is the name given to the principle stated by President James Monroe in his speech to Congress in 1823. Many Latin American countries were gaining their independence from Spanish and Portuguese Empires in the 1920s.

So Monroe in his speech on December 2, 1823, to the Congress, expressed that the New World and the Old World need to remain aloof and any interference from European country would be considered a hostile act. This principle was later named the Monroe Doctrine in the 1850s that became a keystone of the United States' foreign policy.
