Roosevelt Corollary
An addendum to the Monroe Doctrine which stated that the United States were allowed to intervene with any Latin American country if it was to have a conflict.
Summary
In 1904, President Roosevelt created an addendum to the Monroe Doctrine called the Roosevelt Corollary. It was made to stop European countries taking military actions on Latin American countries. The reason why President Roosevelt got the idea to make the corollary because of what happened in the Dominican Republic. European countries used military actions to collect overdue debts. As a result, the United States intervened. And that's how the Roosevelt Corollary was conceived.
