The statement that the War of 1812 "was 'won' by the United States, so far as it was won at all, in Europe" suggests that the authors believe the outcome of the war was largely influenced by events and decisions that took place in Europe, rather than by the military successes or failures of the United States on the North American continent.
The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain, and it had several causes, including trade restrictions brought about by Britain's ongoing war with France, the impressment of American sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and the United States' territorial ambitions in Canada.
The war included several invasions and battles on American and Canadian soil, but many of these were inconclusive or resulted in stalemates. The statement implies that the war's outcome was not decisively determined by these battles. Instead, the authors are likely referring to the fact that the war coincided with the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, which were of much greater strategic importance to the British.
The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, which essentially restored relations between the United States and Britain to their pre-war status. The timing of the treaty coincided with the decline of Napoleon's power in Europe. With Napoleon's defeat in 1814 and his final defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Britain no longer faced the same pressures and could afford to end the conflict with the United States without significant concessions.
Therefore, the authors mean that the geopolitical situation in Europe, particularly the resolution of the larger conflict involving Britain and France, played a critical role in the British decision to end the War of 1812. The war's end was less about the United States' military victories and more about Britain's shifting priorities after the Napoleonic Wars. In this sense, the "victory" for the United States was not so much a result of their own prowess as it was a byproduct of European events.

The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 can be seen as both an isolationist and interventionist document in American foreign policy. On one hand, the doctrine emphasized non-intervention in European affairs and the Western Hemisphere, which can be interpreted as isolationist. However, it also asserted American influence and power in the region, which aligns with interventionist principles.
The text of the Monroe Doctrine itself reflects both isolationist and interventionist elements. It stated that the United States would not interfere in existing European colonies or in the internal affairs of European countries, which can be seen as isolationist. However, it also declared that any attempt by European powers to colonize or interfere with states in the Americas would be viewed as a threat to the peace and safety of the United States, indicating a willingness to intervene in the region.
Concurrent U.S. foreign policies also demonstrate a mix of isolationist and interventionist tendencies during this time period. For example, the United States pursued territorial expansion through the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, which can be seen as interventionist. At the same time, the U.S. sought to avoid entanglement in European conflicts, such as the Napoleonic Wars, which aligns with isolationist principles.
In conclusion, the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 can be viewed as both an isolationist and interventionist document in American foreign policy. It sought to assert American influence in the Western Hemisphere while also emphasizing non-intervention in European affairs. This duality reflects the complex and evolving nature of U.S. foreign policy goals and principles during this time period.
