As Germany began to take over countries throughout Europe during World War II many colonies in the New World found themselves orphaned (such as those owned by Netherlands , Denmark and France ). At the conference the United States thus agreed to share with its neighbors the responsibility of protecting the Monroe Doctrine . The Havana Conference marked a dramatic change in the use of the Monroe Doctrine.
