In this article, we explore the debate on the Monroe Doctrine in the United States that Hiram Bingham triggered when he depicted it as an obsolete shibboleth. We argue that far from being an isolated episode led by a famous scholar, the discussion around the Monroe Doctrine between 1913 and 1914 was the last step in the evolution of an US continental feeling. Before identifying as a global power during the Cold War, or as the leading country of the West after the rise of China, the United States built a self-image of a Pan American nation.
