notes 4 Presidents – 4 Policies

William McKinley – Open Door Policy By the late 19th century, Japan and the European powers had carved much of China into separate spheres of influence. The U.S. held no sphere of influence in China. 1899 "Open Door" policy = all nations would have equal trading and development rights throughout all of China. Such a policy would put all the imperialist powers on equal footing in China and would limit the advantages of having one’s own sphere of influence.

Theodore Roosevelt – Roosevelt Corollary / Big Stick 1904 - the Dominican Republic went bankrupt. Theodore Roosevelt feared other nations might intervene forcibly to collect their debts. Roosevelt issued the Roosevelt Corollary (to the Monroe Doctrine) as part of a 1904 message to Congress. The U.S. had the responsibility to preserve order and protect life and property in the nations of the Western Hemisphere. (using the military if necessary). Roosevelt and later U.S. presidents cited the corollary to justify U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mexico and Haiti. "I have always been fond of the West African proverb: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.’” -Theodore Roosevelt

William Howard Taft - Dollar Diplomacy Late in his administration, the president described his actions as “substituting dollars for bullets.” He went to great lengths to help develop American business interests in foreign areas. In Latin America, Taft sought to protect the approaches to the Panama Canal. In the Far East, he attempted to safeguard the integrity of China and promote the open door policy.

Woodrow Wilson – Moral Diplomacy He advocated "moral diplomacy" (a policy that made the U.S. the conscience of the world). He hoped to spread democracy, condemn colonialism, and promote peace. While he pledged to limit American interventions in Latin America, he ended up intervening more than any previous President, deploying troops to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Mexico.
