Answer 2

Answer:

B.It emphasized US military strength.

Explanation:

• The politics of the Big Stick is the name by which a trend in American diplomatic relations of the early twentieth century is known. The expression originates in a phrase written by the president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, in the year 1900, where he expressed his pleasure because the committee of the Republican Party of New York had expelled a corrupt counselor. The phrase, taken from a West African proverb, was: "speak softly and carry a great club, so you will get far"

• The diplomacy of the dollar is a model of foreign policy of the United States -particularly manifested during the presidency of William Taft- in which American dominion is sought over several strategic countries for this nation (mainly those located in Latin America and Central Asia) through the use of its superior economic power as a guarantee of concession and long-term maintenance of credits and investments to those countries. There are historians, among those who stand out, Thomas Andrew Bailey, who argue that the diplomacy of the dollar, is not something new in the international relations of the United States, because it has been used since the early years of the American Republic as a way to ensure the realization of its political-commercial interests abroad.
