Publisher's Synopsis
""British Aggressions in Venezuela: Or The Monroe Doctrine on Trial"" is a historical book written by William Lindsay Scruggs in 1895. The book discusses the conflict between the United States and Great Britain over the territorial boundaries of Venezuela in the late 19th century. Scruggs examines the history of British imperialism in South America and the Monroe Doctrine, which was a policy adopted by the United States to prevent European powers from interfering in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. He argues that the British were violating the Monroe Doctrine by encroaching on Venezuelan territory and that the United States had a duty to protect its neighbor. The book provides a detailed account of the diplomatic negotiations between the United States, Great Britain, and Venezuela, as well as the military preparations made by both sides. It also includes a discussion of the legal arguments put forth by each country and the eventual resolution of the conflict. Overall, ""British Aggressions in Venezuela"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American foreign policy and the Monroe Doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
