Il documento noto come Dottrina Monroe, scritto dal Segretario di Stato John Quincy Adams, è caratterizzato da un linguaggio diplomatico. La sua essenza è riassumibile in tre passaggi chiave: le sfere di interesse separate tra le Americhe e l’Europa, la non colonizzazione e il non intervento. Originalmente il Ministro degli Esteri britannico George Canning aveva in mente di emettere una dichiarazione congiunta per impedire la futura colonizzazione nelle Americhe ma John Quincy Adams era contrario, ricordando la guerra del 1812 e temendo che questo avrebbe limitato l’espansione americano nell’Ovest. Il presidente Monroe, d’accordo con Adams, emise una dichiarazione unilaterale. Dietro questa scelta non c’era solo la paura dei britannici, ma anche la rivalità con la Spagna e la Russia per i territori del Nordovest, e la navigazione dell’oceano Pacifico per favorire il commercio statunitense alla Cina.

Abstract
The document of the Monroe Doctrine, written by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, was marked by a diplomatic language. Its essence is expressed in three key passages: separate spheres of influence for the Americas and Europe, non-colonization, and non-intervention. Originally George Canning, British Foreign Secretary, had the idea to issue a joint declaration forbidding future colonization in the Americas, but John Quincy Adams was strongly against it, remembering the war of 1812, and fearing that a bilateral declaration would limit the American western expansion. President Monroe agreed with Adams and issued a unilateral declaration. Behind this choice was not only the fear of the British, but also the rivalry with Spain and Russia for the northwestern territories, and the navigation in the Pacif Ocean to connect US commerce with China| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
