"If we intend to stay hands off to the powers of europe, then sooner or later we must keep to ourselves"
What future US policy toward Latin America is suggested by this quotation from Theodore Roosevelt?
I was thinking the answer would be: The united states would remain neutral in all Latin American affairs. Would that answer work with the question? Its a multiple choice question but thats the answer i thought fit.
What are your other choices? I think I know of a better answer.
the usa would work with european contries to control latn america
OR
The usa would join latin america to resist european affairs
OR
The usa would become more involved in latin america and would help to keep european countries out
Yes, there is a better answer. What was the Roosevelt Corollary?
The corollary states that the United States will intervene in conflicts between European countries and Latin American countries to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers, rather than having the Europeans press their claims directly. Im a bit confused, are they on Latin Americans side or the Europeans side?
We wanted to protect Latin America from being colonized or conquered by European nations.
The third and fourth choices are similar, but I'm leaning toward the fourth answer.
