Question

1. The Monroe and Truman Doctrines were guiding policies for the United States during the Cold War, and part of an eminently Realist approach to global politics. Perhaps no area of the world was more impacted by these doctrines than South and Central America. Explain what the Monroe Doctrine and Truman Doctrine are, and how they relate to Realist IR theory. How did they manifest themselves in 20^th century American interventions in South and Central America?

I need the answer more than 500 words please. thanks
