Frayer Model / Roosevelt Corollary

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY IN ASIA GERMANY, FRANCE, BRITAIN, JAPAN AND RUSSIA ALL WANTED CHINA TO LEASE TERRITORY TO THEM = EACH LEASED AREA BECAME A “SPHERE OF INFLUENCE” WHERE A FOREIGN NATION CONTROLLED ECONOMY

THE OPEN DOOR POLICY THE UNITED STATES SUPPORTED AN OPEN DOOR POLICY IN WHICH ALL COUNTRIES COULD TRADE WITH CHINA

THE BOXER REBELLION https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=ZaT1WDq-XFw SECRET CHINESE SOCIETIES SUCH AS “BOXERS” WERE WORKING TO RID CHINA OF FOREIGN CONTROL IN 1900, THE BOXERS SEIZED FOREIGN EMBASSIES IN BEIJING AND KILLED MORE THAN 200 FOREIGNERS AN INTERNATIONAL FORCE CRUSHED THE REBELLION

AP: Talking Heads Why did TR support an Open Door Policy in China? Why would the “boxers” be concerned about what was happening in China?

ROOSEVELT DIPLOMACY ROOSEVELT BECOMES YOUNGEST PRES EVER (42) WHEN MCKINLEY SHOT BY AN ANARCHIST TR SUPPORTED THE OPEN DOOR POLICY IN CHINA, AND HELPED END A WAR BETWEEN JAPAN AND RUSSIAN IN ORDER TO PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS IN THE REGION TR BELIEVED THE USA MUST WORK TO BECOME A WORLD POWER!!!

DOLLAR DIPLOMACY PRES. TAFT (1909-1913) CONTINUED ROOSEVELT’S POLICIES BUT… FOCUSED MORE ON INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT THAN MILITARY FORCE = DOLLAR DIPLOMACY

WOODROW WILSON’S MORAL DIPLOMACY PRESIDENT WILSON (1913-1921) OPPOSED TEDDY ROOSEVELT AND IMPERIALISM, BUT BELIEVED HE SHOULD PROMOTE DEMOCRACY WILSON REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE HUERTA’S GOV’T IN MEXICO BECAUSE HE HAD KILLED OFF OPPOSITION WILSON USED INCIDENT W/ SAILORS IN MEXICO TO OVERTHROW HUERTA ANTI-AMERICAN RIOTS FOLLOWED THIS….CARRANZA BECAME MEXICAN PRESIDENT HOW WOULD TEDDY ROOSEVELT HAVE RESPONDED ANY DIFFERENTLY?
