Explanation:

The Monroe Doctrine, as depicted in the cartoon, was a U.S. foreign policy. It aimed to prevent European powers from colonizing or interfering in the Western Hemisphere. The cartoon's imagery and dialogue ("I was aware of that when I cooped you up!") suggest Uncle Sam (the U.S.) is keeping European powers (represented by the dialogue from "Europe") out of South America (part of the Western Hemisphere).

Answer:

prevent further European colonization in the Western Hemisphere
