What was the purpose of the Roosevelt corollary?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) to discourage European nations from colonizing Latin America.

The purpose of the Roosevelt corollary was to discourage European nations from colonizing Latin America.

US President Theodore Roosevelt was delivering his State of the Union Address in 1904 when he referred to an addition to the Monroe Doctrine that was called the Roosevelt Corollary. The document referred to the capacity of the United States to intervene in issues regarding European nations and Latin American countries, instead of European countries doing it directly.
