 * During James Monroe’s presidency, he encountered many foreign policy issues. Many of which were difficult and a challenge to him. One of the most challenging foreign policy’s was the [|Adam-Onis treaty] . The treaty was mainly about the US acquiring Florida and establishing a boundary line between Spanish territory and US. This treaty was then negotiated by the Secretary of State, which was John Quincy Adams, and the Spanish Prime Minister to the US, which was Don Luis de Onis. Also, since the purchase of Spanish Florida almost went terrible due to the fact that Andrew Jackson invaded the territory because he thought they were orders from Monroe. James Monroe later solved this by giving them claims that we had in Texas and another five million dollars worth in claims. Another foreign policy was the [|Monroe Doctrine] . This doctrine stated that the US wouldn’t interfere with European affairs or wars on power, it also states that any attempt made by European colonies would be considered a hostile act against US. This Doctrine was later expanded during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency. All in all, those are some challenging foreign issues that president James Monroe had to deal with and in doing so, we got more land and not a lot of bloodshed. **
