He negotiated treaties and agreements. He forced the Dominican Republic to pay its debts. He suppressed a revolution in Cuba. He supported the rebels in Panama.

Answer 1

Answer: President Theodore Roosevelt’s word were literally, “Speak softly, but carry a big stick.” This was a shift in foreign policy of generally advocating diplomacy as a first- but not last- option. If diplomacy failed, the U.S. President and by extension the U.S. Government under any open act of war, would declare preeminence and victory by the U.S. Military. Hope that helps!
