Question

In 1904, the United States issued the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. It allowed the United States to have ‘international police power’ in the Western Hemisphere. In what ways does this political cartoon correctly predict the Roosevelt Corollary?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Roosevelt Corollary of December 1904 stated that the United States would intervene as a last resort to ensure that other nations in the Western Hemisphere fulfilled their obligations to international creditors, and did not violate the rights of the United States or invite “foreign aggression to the detriment of the entire body of American nations.”
