The Panama Canal was an example of Theodore Roosevelt's support of American imperialism and Big Stick diplomacy. He believed in expanding U.S. influence through strategic military and economic power. The canal demonstrated his commitment to strengthening global trade routes and asserting U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

The two "Roosevelts" were Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, two American presidents. Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th President, most notable for his contribution to the Progressive Era of trust-busting, conservation, and neo-imperialism (for example the Roosevelt Corollary and the Panama Canal). Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President, most notable for his New Deal plan against the Great Depression and leadership during World War II. Theodore and Franklin were fifth cousins.
Theodore Roosevelt's "Big Ditch" is the Panama Canal, which is in ... you guessed it ... Panama!
President Theodore Roosevelt's actions in Panama, particularly his support for the canal's construction and encouragement of Panama's independence from Colombia, were seen as hypocritical given his professed commitment to diplomacy and non-intervention. While he advocated for the "Big Stick" diplomacy, emphasizing a strong military presence, critics argued that his approach undermined sovereignty and reflected imperialistic tendencies. This contradiction between his ideals of promoting democracy and the reality of American intervention led to significant disapproval of his actions regarding Panama.
