States would become a "police power" in Latin America and the Caribbean to protect
American interests.
O Roosevelt Corollary

O Teller Amendment
O Hay-Pauncefote Treaty

Answer 1

Right choice:

O Roosevelt Corollary

Step-by-step explanation:

During the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, the United States actively got involved in the affairs of Caribbean and Latin American nations to keep stability and make local governments pay their international obligations to European creditors. The US feared that those debts could be used as a pretext by European powers to intervene in the region - an action that would be contrary to the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine. So, Teddy Roosevelt´s policy was called the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.
