The book explores the significance of the Monroe Doctrine, a policy that was introduced by the United States in 1823 to protect the Western Hemisphere from European intervention.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed history of the Monroe Doctrine, its origins, and its impact on American foreign policy. Adams examines the Doctrine's evolution over time and its relevance in the context of the changing international political landscape. He also discusses the Doctrine's impact on Latin American countries and their relations with the United States.The second part of the book delves into Mommsen's Law and its relationship to the Monroe Doctrine. Adams argues that the Doctrine was based on the idea that the United States needed to maintain its territorial integrity to maintain its power and influence in the world. He explores the implications of this idea for American foreign policy and the challenges that the United States faced in implementing it.Overall, The Monroe Doctrine and Mommsen's Law is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the Monroe Doctrine and its place in American foreign policy. Adams' work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American foreign policy and the evolution of international relations in the Western Hemisphere.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
