Franklin D. Roosevelt ended the policy known as the "Big Stick" or the Roosevelt Corollary. This policy was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine and asserted the right of the United States to intervene in Latin American countries to protect its economic and political interests. With the Good Neighbor Policy, Roosevelt aimed to improve relations with Latin American nations and promote cooperation and non-intervention.
The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was a substantial alteration (called an "amendment") of the Monroe Doctrine by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904. President Theodore Roosevelt's 1904 extension of the Monroe Doctrine in which he asserted the right of the United States to intervene in Latin American nations' affairs. In its altered state, the Monroe Doctrine would now consider Latin America as an agency for expanding U.S. commercial interests in the region, along with its original stated purpose of keeping European hegemony from the hemisphere. In addition, the corollary proclaimed the explicit right of the United States to intervene in Latin American conflicts exercising an international police power. Roosevelt cut with a long tradition of isolationism and initiated an interventionist and imperialistic foreign policy. This earned him a lot of criticism in the United States; opposition in Congress reproached him with breaking international law and the U.S. Constitution. An extract out of the "Roosevelt-Corollary:" All that this country desires is to see the neighboring countries stable, orderly, and prosperous. Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship. If a nation shows that it knows how to act with reasonable efficiency and decency in social and political matters, if it keeps order and pays its obligations, it need fear no interference from the United States. Chronic wrongdoing, or an impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilized society, may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an international police power. Shift to the "Good Neighbor policy" Presidents cited the corollary to justify U.S. intervention in (and occupation of) Cuba (1906-1910), Nicaragua (1909-1911, 1912-1925 and 1926-1933), Haiti (1915-1934), and the Dominican Republic (1916-1924). In 1930, the Clark Memorandum stated that the U.S. did not have the right to intervene unless there was a threat by European powers, reversing the Roosevelt Corollary. In 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt further renounced interventionism and established his "Good Neighbor policy" of lessened military suspicion.
No.
Theodore Roosevelt relied on big-stick diplomacy. His famous saying was "Speak softly but carry a big stick." He was very aggressive in his foreign policy. For example, when Colombia rejected the treaty giving the United States the right to build the Panama Canal, Roosevelt actually backed a revolution in Panama and signed the treaty with the revolutionaries. Teddy Roosevelt also issued the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. This policy enabled the United States to intervene in Latin American affairs. Needless to say, the Roosevelt Corollary and its creator were very unpopular in Latin America. On the other hand, Franklin Roosevelt's policy was called the Good Neighbor Policy. FDR basically announced that the United States would no longer intervene in Latin America's affairs. He kept his word, pulling Marines out of Haiti. When a crisis came up with Mexico, Roosevelt was able to negotiate successfully. Though some Latin American countries remained suspicious of United States policies, Franklin Roosevelt was an admired figure in Latin America.
