Question 5

Monroe doctrine

Answer 5

a principle of US policy, originated by President James Monroe in 1823, that any intervention by external powers in the politics of the Americas is a potentially hostile act against the US.

Question 6

Roosevelt corollary

Answer 6

Roosevelt Corollary, foreign policy declaration by U.S. Pres. Theodore Roosevelt in 1904–05 stating that, in cases of flagrant and chronic wrongdoing by a Latin American country, the United States could intervene in that country’s internal affairs. Roosevelt’s assertion of hemispheric police power was soon characterized as the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, though, in reality, it was a significant extension of that doctrine rather than an interpretation of it. Nevertheless, it was designed to preclude violation of the Monroe Doctrine by European countries seeking redress of grievances against unruly or mismanaged Latin American states.
