Answer 1

The Roosevelt Corollary encouraged the creation of new US colonies in Central America.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Roosevelt Corollary was the idea that the U.S. legitimate sphere of influence was the Western Hemisphere, more specifically, the whole continent of the Americas.

From this idea stems the support that the Roosevelt Administration gave to the creation of new colonies in Central America, like Panama, that was not a colony per se, but became deeply influenced by the United States after it won independence from Colombia, since it was the United States who gave support to the independence process, and it was also the United States who invested the capital necessary to build the Panama Canal, which would remain in American control until the administration of George H.W. Bush, almost a century later.
