Answer:
Explanation:
The cartoon refers to Roosevelt's international policy in Latin America as well as the handling of the Venezuela Crisis of 1902–1903.
He has claimed it is necessary to involve police duty and power in order to reach welfare. His famous quote about foreign policy states <em>"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far"</em> - <u>which means be intelligent and soft-spoken but do not fret to take violent actions if necessary.</u>
From this quote came the name of Roosevelt's foreign politics called <em>Big Stick Ideology </em>or <em>Big Stick Diplomacy</em>. <u>This cartoon refers to it, naming the stick 'diplomacy', which is a metaphor for Roosevelt's aggressive policy in international relations in Latin America. </u>
