Feb 6, 2014R.A.W. Why was the Spanish/ American war so “Splendid?” AIM What was Roosevelt’s foreign policy?
I. The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. • TR believed that the U.S. could “intervene” in the affairs of South American countries if American interests were at stake. • The Policeman of the Western Hemisphere!
II. The Big Stick Policy • “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” • Ask nicely but always have the threat of war! • TR would use the “Big Stick” in Columbia. • U.S.Navy = The Big Stick.
