in class today

we learned about the monroe doctrine and i think that it seems like we're not actually going to help the newly independent western nations and i think in the end, we'll regret not telling the truth because if these new countries find out that we're not actually helping them, then they're going to get angry, go back to their european overlords who will fight us for them. i'm not sure but this might be a cause for world war 2. maybe not, i really don't have a good sense of time in history so I'm probably completely wrong. Whatever though, because we'll learn about it in class soon hopefully.
