Roosevelt Corollary
The Roosevelt Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine that asserted the United States' right to intervene in the affairs of Latin American countries to enforce stability and maintain order. This essentially justified US intervention in the region under the guise of promoting peace and security, although critics argued that it was imperialistic in nature.
The big stick refers to Teddy Roosevelt's version of the Monroe Doctrine. His new plan was called the Roosevelt Corollary, which gave permission to the US to set up a police force in the Caribbean in order to protect their newly occupied states as a result of the Spanish-American war.
