quickly between the Atlantic &
Pacific oceans we needed a
canal in central America.

Panama and when they won, we
signed a treaty with them to begin
work.
THE “BIG STICK” IN LATIN AMERICA
Roosevelt extends the Monroe Doctrine:
-Roosevelt declared to Europe to stay out of
Western Hemisphere’s business.
-He also declared the US had the right to
PRESERVE law & order in South America.
President Taft:
-When Taft takes over he substitutes Dollars for
Bullets. (called Dollar diplomacy).
Moral Diplomacy:
-Woodrow Wilson condemned both former
president’s diplomacy methods.
-Despite that he sent troops to the Latin America
more than either Taft or Roosevelt.
MEXICO
The Mexican Government went through
several revolutions in the early 1900’s.
Wilson tried to stay neutral (although he
called General Huerta’s government “A
government of Butchers).
Eventually Wilson authorized the sale of
weapons to Heurta’s rival, Carranza.
Carranza’s side (with some mild US help)
would eventually win.
Another revolutionary: Poncho Villa would
try to overthrow Carranza.
In 1916 Villa crossed the border and killed
17 American’s. Eventually General
John J. Pershing took troops into Mexico
