Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Roosevelt used the Monroe Doctrine (which wasn't taken seriously in 1823) to add his own "Roosevelt Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine in 1904, which said the U.S. had the exclusive right to intervene in the affairs of Latin American countries. He used the Monroe Doctrine to also justify the United States becoming a "police power" internationally.
