Intervening in Latin American countries that could not pay their debt to European creditors.
The foreign policy that added to the Monroe Doctrine during the early part of the twentieth century was called the Roosevelt Corollary. Announced by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, it asserted the United States' right to intervene in Latin American countries to maintain stability and order. This corollary effectively expanded the Monroe Doctrine by justifying American intervention in the Western Hemisphere under the guise of preventing European intervention.
The Monroe Doctrine, put forth in 1823 by President James Monroe, called for an end to European intervention in the American continents (both north and south). This applied only to independent governments in the Americas however, not to areas that were colonies at that time.In what came to be known as the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt asserted that European nations should not intervene in countries to the south of the US, however under certain conditions, United States intervention might be justified.
Monroe Doctrine :) i hope this answer helped It's actually the Big Stick Policy.:)
Europe from interfering in Latin America
The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was a substantial alteration (called an "amendment") of the Monroe Doctrine by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904. President Theodore Roosevelt's 1904 extension of the Monroe Doctrine in which he asserted the right of the United States to intervene in Latin American nations' affairs. In its altered state, the Monroe Doctrine would now consider Latin America as an agency for expanding U.S. commercial interests in the region, along with its original stated purpose of keeping European hegemony from the hemisphere. In addition, the corollary proclaimed the explicit right of the United States to intervene in Latin American conflicts exercising an international police power. Roosevelt cut with a long tradition of isolationism and initiated an interventionist and imperialistic foreign policy. This earned him a lot of criticism in the United States; opposition in Congress reproached him with breaking international law and the U.S. Constitution. An extract out of the "Roosevelt-Corollary:" All that this country desires is to see the neighboring countries stable, orderly, and prosperous. Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship. If a nation shows that it knows how to act with reasonable efficiency and decency in social and political matters, if it keeps order and pays its obligations, it need fear no interference from the United States. Chronic wrongdoing, or an impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilized society, may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an international police power. Shift to the "Good Neighbor policy" Presidents cited the corollary to justify U.S. intervention in (and occupation of) Cuba (1906-1910), Nicaragua (1909-1911, 1912-1925 and 1926-1933), Haiti (1915-1934), and the Dominican Republic (1916-1924). In 1930, the Clark Memorandum stated that the U.S. did not have the right to intervene unless there was a threat by European powers, reversing the Roosevelt Corollary. In 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt further renounced interventionism and established his "Good Neighbor policy" of lessened military suspicion.
When the Roosevelt Corollary was issued, it amended the Monroe Doctrine.

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 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.
