Question

Dose any one know about the big stick policy and who invented it?

Answer 1

The "Big Stick Policy" is associated with President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States. It was not an invention, but rather a diplomatic and foreign policy approach that emphasized negotiating peacefully while also maintaining a strong military presence to back up negotiations. The policy's most famous articulation came from a speech Roosevelt gave in 1901, in which he said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." This meant that the United States would use diplomacy and peaceful negotiations when possible but would also be prepared to use military force when necessary to protect its interests and exert its influence in the Western Hemisphere and beyond.

The Big Stick Policy was closely associated with Roosevelt's approach to foreign policy during his presidency (1901-1909). It was used in various contexts, including the construction of the Panama Canal and the U.S. intervention in foreign affairs, such as the intervention in Latin America. The idea was to maintain a strong, visible military presence as a deterrent and to facilitate negotiations from a position of strength.

Answer 2

Big stick policy was popularized by Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s first noted public use of the phrase occurred when he advocated before the U.S. Big Stick diplomacy is the policy of carefully mediated negotiation ("speaking softly") supported by the unspoken threat of a powerful military ("big stick"). The idea is negotiating peacefully but also having strength in case things go wrong. Simultaneously threatening with the "big stick", or the military, ties in heavily with the idea of Realpolitik, which implies a pursuit of political power that resembles Machiavellian ideals.

Does that make sense?
