Characteristics of the Big Stick
STICKS
Teddy Roosevelt practiced a type of diplomacy known as "Big Stick Diplomacy." This approach involved using the threat of military force to negotiate favorable outcomes, with Roosevelt famously proclaiming, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." He believed in projecting American power and influence abroad to protect American interests and maintain stability in the Western Hemisphere.
Speak diplomatically, but carry a big stick, e.g. the threat of using military force as one prong of foreign policy. A country may not want to negotiate, but when a threat is used strategically, it can change minds.
Theodore Roosevelt's aggressive diplomacy was referred to as "The Big Stick".
