The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine proclaimed that the United States would "protect" the nations of Central and South America from European interference by exercising an international police force in the area. The actions of the United States under the corollary pleased US and European investors because it protected their monetary interests in the area, but the corollary also created ill will between the US and the nations of Latin America who felt that they were being bullied by the great American colossus of the North. The seizure of the Panama Canal zone was an example of action that greatly offended Latin America. MrV
