There were two goals that Roosevelt had when making the policy and Taft dollar towards Latin America. The two goals that Roosevelt has were power and money.
President Taft's dollar diplomacy kept Latin America dependent on foreign investment and aid. President Wilson, however, directly interfered with Mexican affairs, intervening more than his predecessors.
Roosevelt's Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine that declared the United States could intervene, or use military force to keep peace, in Latin American countries when necessary. Dollar Diplomacy focused on business. Taft believed the United States should invest in other countries to maintain and increase its power. Wall street bankers backed loans made by US business to foreign countries. Basically, Roosevelt's "big stick" was military and Taft's "big stick" was business.
