How did Theodore Roosevelt expand American influence in world affairs?
What will be an ideal response?
The Panama Canal and the Roosevelt Corollary are the two issues that students will probably immediately identify as being cornerstones of Roosevelt's foreign policy. Both provide excellent examples of Roosevelt's willingness to use his power as president to shape world affairs without working closely with Congress. But Roosevelt's ambition extended beyond Latin America. Students should also discuss his attitude toward Japan and his role in resolving the Russo-Japanese War. Additionally, good students will cover Roosevelt's endorsement of arbitration to settle disputes and how European nations responded to America's growing influence.
