The Roosevelt Corollary
It had something to do with the "Big-Stick Policy" a.k.a The Roosevelt Corollary.
The Roosevelt Corollary was a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine which stated that the United States will intervene in conflicts between European countries and Latin American countries to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers, rather than having the Europeans press their claims directly.
Roosevelt Corollary
Franklin D. Roosevelt ended the policy known as the "Big Stick" or the Roosevelt Corollary. This policy was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine and asserted the right of the United States to intervene in Latin American countries to protect its economic and political interests. With the Good Neighbor Policy, Roosevelt aimed to improve relations with Latin American nations and promote cooperation and non-intervention.
Well, the Roosevelt Corollary stated that the United States would pay off the debts of Latin American countries in order to keep Europe out. Roosevelt feared that European powers would loan money to these countries and thus become involved in the western hemisphere (a violation of the Monroe Doctrine). Because of this, this was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, and became a part of the US foreign policy.The Roosevelt corollary is important because it added to the Monroe Doctrine in matters of foreign military actions.
Theodore Roosevelt invoked the so-called Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine in reaction to German and British actions against Venezuela, known as the Venezuela Crisis (1902-1903). Britain, Germany, and Italy blockaded Venezuela over debt repayments. The policy was stated in his State of the Union Address in 1904, the last year of his succession term and the year he won re-election.
