British and Spanish leaders mad. To stop these
problems in Florida, Spanish leaders settled
all U.S.-Spain border disputes by signing

revolutionary fighter Simon Bolívar led many
of the struggles between Latin America and
Spain. After Mexico broke free from Spain in
1821, President Monroe became concerned
that European powers might try to take control of Latin American countries. The Monroe
Doctrine warned European powers not to

between them after the War of 1812 ended.
To settle this disagreement, they both signed
the Rush-Bagot Agreement, which limited
naval power on the Great Lakes for both
the United States and British Canada. The
Convention of 1818 was another treaty that
gave the United States fishing rights off parts
of the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts. It
also set the border between the United States
and Canada at the 49th parallel. The United
