It assumed that if a crisis occurred, there would be an invasion. The creditors to Venezuela would get upset and try to take over.
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.

The Roosevelt Corollary emerged from concerns over European intervention in Latin America and the instability in the region, particularly after Venezuela's debt crisis in 1902, which prompted British, German, and Italian naval blockades. President Theodore Roosevelt believed that such interventions could undermine the Monroe Doctrine, which aimed to prevent European powers from colonizing the Americas. To assert U.S. dominance and maintain stability, he articulated the corollary in 1904, asserting the right of the U.S. to intervene in Latin American countries to prevent European interference. This established a precedent for U.S. involvement in the region, often justified under the guise of maintaining order.
The Roosevelt Corollary, established in 1904, was a significant extension of the Monroe Doctrine that justified American intervention in Latin America. One prominent example is the U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic in 1905, where the U.S. took control of customs collections to stabilize the country's finances and prevent European intervention. Another instance is the establishment of U.S. control over Cuba following the Spanish-American War, which allowed for American oversight in Cuban affairs under the Platt Amendment. These actions exemplified the corollary's aim to assert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere and prevent external powers from interfering in the region.
Europe from interfering in Latin America
The Monroe Doctrine has not been formally replaced but has evolved over time, particularly with the emergence of the Roosevelt Corollary in 1904. This corollary expanded the original doctrine by asserting the United States' right to intervene in Latin America to maintain stability, effectively positioning the U.S. as a regional police power. Over the decades, U.S. foreign policy has continued to adapt, reflecting changing geopolitical dynamics, but the core principles of the Monroe Doctrine still influence American policy in the Western Hemisphere.
President Theodore Roosevelt is correctly matched with the "Roosevelt Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted the United States' right to intervene in Latin American nations to maintain stability and order. This policy was a response to concerns over European intervention in the region and aimed to prevent foreign influence. Roosevelt's approach marked a significant expansion of U.S. involvement in Latin America during the early 20th century.
Roosevelt utilized U.S. power in other countries primarily through the implementation of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which justified American intervention in Latin America to stabilize nations and protect U.S. interests. Additionally, he employed "Big Stick" diplomacy, which emphasized the use of military strength and naval power to negotiate and influence other nations, exemplified by the construction of the Panama Canal and the subsequent control over its operations.
