By, Liz
3
Time Frame Of Two Roosevelts
Theodore Roosevelt Franklin Roosevelt TO 1904- Starts U.S. on the path of self righteousness with the Roosevelt Corollary. 1934- Replaces the Roosevelt Corollary with his “Good Neighbor policy”.

Causes of the Interaction
Motives; The U.S. was still in the process of proving that it was not a force to be trifled with It was an opportunity for the U.S. to show that it backs up it’s words with actions The people of the U.S. seemed to be interested in Latin America Roosevelt was just a very pugnacious man and these were fights that could be justified We felt the need to be the world police (and still continue to) and thought we had the right to be the world police Regions involved; Latin America Continental U.S. Europe

Effects of the Interaction
Latin American countries started to resent the U.S. European countries started to get annoyed with the U.S., particularly Britain since we threated them when they were in the right/were right More then a dozen instances of U.S. troop being sent in and used in Latin America Including interfering in Cuba from , Nicaragua from , , and , Haiti from , and the Dominican Republic from

Value of the Document What it helps us understand about the subject is that people noticed how much T. Roosevelt used the Monroe Doctrine and his Roosevelt Corollary to get (in some people’s opinions over) involved in affairs between Latin America and Europe. The source has value in that it is a simple and kind of funny representation of how T. Roosevelt used his Roosevelt Corollary and the Monroe Doctrine to justify said corollary in order to keep European countries at “arm’s or cannon’s length” from Latin America It shows how some people even back then in society thought that T. Roosevelt kind of over used his Roosevelt Corollary policy to keep Europe away from Latin America

Limitations of the Document
It doesn’t really show how U.S. interference was occasionally necessary in Latin America-European affairs It doesn’t make it clear that the U.S. was backing up what they had said to the world previously about handling all European claims when it came to Latin America But I don’t think the source is corrupted or mistranslated overall.

According to this cartoon U. S
According to this cartoon U.S. territorial expansion was not so much a proper and legitimate policy for the United States to follow, as it was T. Roosevelt making sure Europe brought it’s claims having to do with Latin America to the United States government and not Latin America directly.
