Roosevelt wanted to achieve military superiority in the Carribean, so he behaved incorrectly in the relation to the representatives of the Latin American countries. When the Colombian parliament refused to sell the rights to build the Panama Canal to the U.S., Roosevelt offended politicians and supported the independence of Panama, which allowed him to seize Panama strategic base. In addition, in 1904, according to the "Monroe Doctrine," the United Stated took over the function of customs control in the Dominican Republic. In 1903, Cuba also had to give away its Guantanamo strategic base in favor of the United States. In conclusion, I would say that Theodore Roosevelt was a great politician. He held an efficient and pragmatic internal policies that allowed to resolve the country's economic situation. This actually allowed the U.S. to take a leading positionin the global economy. However, as Roosevelt wanted to dominate in the Caribbean he was held quite an aggressive policy with respect to Latin American
