In many ways, yes, the Monroe Doctrine was fundamentally consistent with the isolationist principles established by George Washington in his Neutrality Proclamation and Farewell Address, since it claimed that the United States would not tolerate European intervention in the Americas, although it was more aggressive than Washington's stance.
