Answer 1

Although Theodore Roosevelt successfully negotiated for the United States to use the Canal Zone, many felt his tactics during the negotiations with Panama violated international law.

Option: (B)

Explanation:

• The tactics that Theodore Roosevelt used exhibited nothing else but the dominance of a powerful nation on other powerless nation.
• Many believed that these tactics violated international laws because the negotiation operations went on becoming one-sided with the other party having nothing much to say.
• Theodore Roosevelt indirectly indicated that he had the power and authority to go by hook or by crook which made it possible for him to conclude the negotiations successfully for the US.
