Answer:

United States legitimize its position for intervention in the affairs of Latin American nations.

Explanation:

President Roosevelt views that Latin America was vulnerable to European attack and as per the Monroe Doctrine (1823) allowed the United States to serve as a police force at an international level. It has been used to justify US actions in Cuba, Panama, and other countries in Latin America. In the twentieth century, Latin American countries witnessed over 35 invasions of the U.S forces aimed creating an undisputed area of control throughout the western hemisphere.
