ROOSEVELT COROLLARY TO THE
MONROE DOCTRINE
Background: Venezuela & Dominican Republic always in debt to foreign
powers (Germany bombarded a Venezuelan town in 1903) The US intervened and arbitrated the debt
Roosevelt Corollary (to the Monroe Doctrine) Roosevelt theory: ―Preventive intervention‖
Justified US intervention to prevent European countries from ―intervening‖ (a.k.a. bringing troops to this hemisphere)
An extension of the Monroe Doctrine Caribbean becomes a ―Yankee Lake‖ and U.S. will intervene:
Dominican Republic, 1905 Cuba, 1906
Result – a legacy of ill will & distrust from Latin America towards U.S.

The Roosevelt Corollary to the
Monroe Doctrine: 1905
“Chronic wrongdoing… 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.”
