dec 6, 1904 - Roosevelt Corollary

Description:

The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was articulated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, asserting that the United States had the right to intervene in the economic affairs of Latin American countries to maintain stability in the Western Hemisphere. This policy effectively made the U.S. the "policeman" of the Americas, justifying American intervention throughout the region and significantly expanding U.S. influence in Latin America.
