>Monroe asserted that the New World and the Old World were to remain distinctly separate spheres of influence,[4] and thus further efforts by European powers to control or influence sovereign states in the region would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security.[5][6]

>In turn, the United States would recognize and not interfere with existing European colonies nor meddle in the internal affairs of European countries.
