What if the United States would have adopted a different, more pro-Latin American version of the Monroe Doctrine? Specifically, the US would have judged any European intervention in the Americas on the basis of its own security concerns but also on whether this intervention would have actually been good for Latin Americans themselves. That way, the US's approach in regards to this would have been less paternalistic and more beneficial towards Latin Americans. It would have also prevented unnecessary US imperialism in the region.
