How Did Theodore Roosevelt Contribute To The Monroe Doctrine

Theodore Roosevelt’s aggressive diplomacy pushed the United States into the center of world affairs. The Panama Canal opened in 1914 due to the Hay Herran Treaty, which gave the U.S. the right to build the canal. Roosevelt’s Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was an extension that made it possible for the U.S. to intervene in disputes between North and South America and other world powers. He also ended the Russo-Japanese War by helping negotiate the peace settlement known as the Treaty of Portsmouth. The Root-Takahira agreement reinforced the Open Door policy with China. Before he left the white house, Roosevelt wanted to celebrate America’s rise of world power. He sent the entire Navy on a global tour called the “Great White Fleet”
