C?

then D?

Yes. D. is correct. We did not want to be involved in the ongoing European wars and we wanted Europe to stay the heck out of the Americas!

thank you, I was pretty confused

You are very welcome. Glad I helped unconfuse you.

No.

To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and analyze them one by one:

A. The statement claims that the United States welcomed European involvement in all issues in North America. However, this is not accurate. The Monroe Doctrine focused on European involvement in the Western Hemisphere, not just North America. So, we can eliminate this option.

B. The statement suggests that the United States welcomed any European involvement in South America. Again, this is not correct. The Monroe Doctrine aimed to oppose European involvement in the Western Hemisphere, including the colonization or interference in South America. Therefore, we can eliminate this option as well.

C. The statement argues that the United States pledged to involve itself as much as possible in European affairs while opposing European involvement in South America. This is also inaccurate. The Monroe Doctrine aimed to limit European involvement in the Western Hemisphere, including South America, rather than involving the United States in European affairs. Therefore, we can eliminate this option as well.

D. The statement asserts that the United States pledged not to involve itself in European affairs and opposed any extension of European colonization in the Americas. This is the correct and most accurate description of the Monroe Doctrine. The doctrine emphasized that the Americas (both North and South) should be free from any further European colonization, and in return, the United States would not interfere with existing European colonies or involve itself in European affairs.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. The United States pledged not to involve itself in European affairs and opposed any extension of European colonization in the Americas.
