The Roosevelt Corollary and the Platt
Amendment were tools used by the
United States to defend the interests and
dominance they had established in Latin
America. The United States appeared to
defend the interests of countries in Latin
America in both instances.
The Roosevelt Corollary widened the scope of the Platt Amendment and declared the United States to be the "policeman" of the entire Western Hemisphere, with the authority to interfere in the internal affairs of
other countries in order to maintain stability.
The corollary said that not only were the
countries of the Western Hemisphere closed to colonization by European powers, but that it was the United States' duty to uphold order and safeguard people's lives and property there.
