List Of U.s. Presidential Doctrines

• Monroe Doctrine: The Americas should be free from future European colonization and free from European interference in sovereign countries' affairs.
• Theodore Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine: That the U.S. has the right to intervene in the affairs of Latin American and particularly Caribbean countries whose indebtedness or institutional disarray might otherwise lead to intervention by European powers.
• Truman Doctrine: If one nation falls to a communist takeover, it will logically follow that its surrounding nations are also at risk for a communist takeover (the domino theory).

• Nixon Doctrine: When direct US military presence is not possible, the US shall train and assist native rebels in the country of the conflict.
• Carter Doctrine: An attempt by any outside forces to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.
• Reagan Doctrine: Anti-communist rebels must be supported because they oppose tyranny.
