The Monroe Doctrine helped Puerto Rico and the United States cross paths. With each evolution of this foreign policy, the image of Puerto Rico and its people changed along with it. Between 1898-1965, Puerto Rico went from being portrayed as a backwater to being characterized as a capitalist miracle.
