Question

What building is shown under Roosevelt's right arm? Why is it there? (big stick diplomacy political cartoon)

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The building that is shown under Roosevelt's right arm is the United States Capitol in Washington D.C. It is there because it is the seat of the United States Congress, where laws are created and passed.

In this Big Stick diplomacy political cartoon, we can observe a giant US President Roosevelt wearing his policeman uniform. On one side, below him is Europe with the European rulers and diplomats, and on the other side is the American continent with Native Indigenous people inhabit the Latin American territory. Under his right arm is the Capitol and he is holding a big stick in his right hand that says "The New Diplomacy."
