  4. The RowersBy Rudyard Kipling "Last night you swore our voyage was done,But seaward still we go.And you tell us now of a secret vowYou have made with an open foe! . . . Our dead they mocked are scarcely cold,Our wounds are bleeding yet--And you tell us now that our strength is soldTo help them press for a debt!” Published in The Times, Dec. 22, 1902.

  5. Uncle Sam’s change of heart – the Roosevelt Corollary

  6. Cartoon of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, part of Roosevelt’s “Big Stick” Policy

  7. Main Points of the Corollary • Want to see neighbors “stable, orderly, and prosperous”. • If a country has a good government and pays its debts, good. • Any problems justify intervention by “some civilized nation” • According to MD, only U.S. allowed to intervene • America = International police. “we cannot afford to let Europe get a foothold in our backyard, so we'll have to act as policemen for the West.”

  8. Uses of the Corollary • Cuba (1906-1909) • Nicaragua (1909-1910, 1912-1925, 1926-1933) • Haiti (1915-1934) • Dominican Republic (1916-1924) • Reversed in 1928 by Clark Memorandum, under Coolidge • Hoover withdraws troops
