Teddy Roosevelt referred to the U.S. Navy fleet as the "Great White Fleet." This nickname was given to the naval group that was sent on a world tour from 1907 to 1909 to demonstrate American naval power and promote diplomacy. The ships were painted white, symbolizing peace, and their journey was intended to showcase the U.S. as a rising global power.
The battleships, known as "The Great White Fleet", were sent around the world to display United States' naval capability, which is another way of saying to show off American power.
Roosevelt asserted American power with the Monroe Doctrine. It outlined the fact that the United States would not be controlled by European countries.
The Great White Fleet, sent by the United States on a world tour from 1907 to 1909, had a significant impact on Japan by demonstrating American naval power and fostering a sense of competition. Japan, keen to be recognized as a major world power, was motivated to modernize its own navy and military capabilities. The visit also influenced Japan's diplomatic relations with the U.S., leading to both cooperation and tensions, particularly in the context of Asian-American relations and territorial ambitions in the Pacific. Ultimately, it marked a pivotal moment in Japan's emergence as a formidable nation on the global stage.
