Analysis
Early 1900s
During the presidency of Theodore RooseveltSlide4
Cause
In the 1900s, Latin American nations had financial troubles with European creditors
European powers were ready to invade Latin American countries to make them pay their debts
Ex. Britain vs. Venezuela
Roosevelt declared in 1904 that the U.S. would intervene using military to ensure that Latin American nations in the Western Hemisphere
pay their debts to European creditorsSlide5
Effect

the right to exercise military force in Latin American countries in order to keep European countries
out
served as a justification for U.S. intervention in Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republichad little to do with relations between the Western Hemisphere and EuropeSlide6
Value
Help us understand about Roosevelt’s aggressive, imperialistic foreign policy
The
Monroe Doctrine had been sought to prevent European intervention in the Western Hemisphere, but now the Roosevelt Corollary justified
America’s right to exercise military force in the Western Hemisphere

How they felt about the U.S. intervention in their affairs, whether they appreciated it or notSlide7
U.S. Territorial Expansion Policy
Was it proper and legitimate?
The US territorial expansion wasn't a proper and legitimate policy for the United States to follow with the Roosevelt Corollary because it was used as an excuse to send U.S. forces into various countries such as Haiti, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, which resulted in weak relations with Latin
America.
