○ it allowed the united states to gain texas from mexico.
○ it discouraged european powers from further colonizing the western hemisphere.
○ it called for the forceful seizure of florida from spanish control.

Explanation:

The Monroe Doctrine's key point was discouraging European powers from colonizing or interfering in the Western Hemisphere, which aligns with the option "It discouraged European powers from further colonizing the Western Hemisphere." Other options: promoting hostile UK - US relations is incorrect; gaining Texas from Mexico isn't its main focus; and it didn't call for seizing Florida (that was via other means).

Answer:

It discouraged European powers from further colonizing the Western Hemisphere.
