What was President's Roosevelt impact on US foreign policy?

Answer 1

It depends on which President Roosevelt you are referring to, but here are the foreign policies of both of them.

Theodore Roosevelt:
One of the major issues during Roosevelt's time in office was the fact that a canal across the Americas was needed. The need for a canal was clear during the Spanish American War. The U.S.S. Oregon sailed all the way from the West coast to Cuba, but didn't make it to Cuba before the war was over. Columbia, who owned Panama at the time, did not let the U.S. build the canal. The U.S. urged Panama to fight for independence. When it gained its independence, the U.S. was able to build the canal. Shortly after this, Roosevelt signed the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which basically stated that if any conflict happened within U.S. territory, the U.S. is going to handle it. This was tested during the Dominican Republic financial crisis. When Europe placed tariffs on the D.R., it fell into a crisis. The U.S. went in and took over the tariffs, and the debt was paid off in two years. Roosevelt also won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for hosting a conference in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with Japan and Russia. He was able to help the two countries negotiate peace.


Franklin Roosevelt:
The United States still wanted to keep a policy of neutrality even when Hitler gained power in Germany. Congress passed the Neutrality Acts that limited trade with nations mobilizing for war. The U.S. still held neutral when Japan wrongfully attacked the gunship Panay. Shortly after it was attacked, Japan criticized the Five Power Act of the Washington Conference and the U.S.'s only response was to boost the navy. Congress soon passed the Neutrality Act of 1939 (Cash and Carry Act) that discarded all embargoes. In 1941, Britain had depleted all its funds, and in response the United States created the Lend-Lease Act. This allowed the United States to lend war and battle ships to the Allies. On the edge of war, Roosevelt and Winston Churchill met and signed the Atlantic Charter. This outlined the objectives of the war. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and the United States entered the war against the Axis Powers. The United States saw little success in the beginning of the war, but when the Americans adopted the technique of island hopping in the Pacific, they slowly made their way toward Japan. The Americans successfully overcame Germany in Africa under the command of General Eisenhower. The war lasted a total of almost four years. The push towards peace had been started during the war in 1943, after the Russians successfully turned the tide of war. The Moscow Conference was held, and it held that there was a need for an international peace keeping commission. Congress accepted the provision. The Teheran Conference was held in 1943, the Dumbarton Oaks was held in 1944, and the San Francisco Conference was held in 1945. These conferences were all aimed at created a national peace keeping organization. The charter for the United Nations was created, and it was signed by fifty nations in San Francisco. Congress ratified this proposal with very little opposition.
