Question 8 • OH-American History CR

What message did the Roosevelt Corollary send to the rest of the world?

Answer
A
The United States had the most powerful navy in the world.
B
The United States was in charge of the Western Hemisphere.
C
The United States was uninterested in world issues.
D
The United States had the strongest economy in the world.

Explanation

The Roosevelt Corollary expanded the Monroe Doctrine by claiming the United States could intervene in Latin American countries to maintain stability and keep European powers out. This sent the message that the United States considered itself responsible for—and effectively in charge of—the Western Hemisphere. It was not mainly a statement about naval or economic strength.
