It is "Speak Softly and carry a big stick" at here the big stick means the US Military, for example the canal in Panama, the US did not want to go all around Latin America to get supplies to the other side of the US or other countries so they wanted to build a canal so it can decrease the time. First the Columbia people had control of Panama so they did not want the US to intervent them, so then TR used the Big Stick Diplomacy to let Panama independence and get rid of the Colombia's then the Panama's would let the US build the canal. This is a example from the Big Stick Diplomacy, hope this helps. And also this happened during 1901.
Roosevelt introduced the Big Stick Diplomacy during 1901. "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick."
