President Taft's policies toward Latin America become known as "dollar diplomacy".
Oksana_A [137]

It should be noted that it was President Roosevelt (Taft's predecessor) who laid the foundation for this policy. All this in order to protect the interests of the United States in Latin America, by encouraging stability in those countries and expanding US commercial interests in those nations.
