The Roosevelt Corollary granted the United States the authority to intervene in Latin American nations for the purpose of maintaining stability, marking a departure from non-intervention and isolationist policies. Here option B is correct.
The Roosevelt Corollary was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, asserting the United States' right to intervene in the internal affairs of Latin American nations to address perceived threats to stability.
This policy, articulated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, aimed to prevent European powers from intervening in the Western Hemisphere while asserting the United States' role as a regional stabilizer.
It justified intervention as a means to uphold order and protect American interests, particularly in cases of economic instability or political unrest.
Unlike a commitment to non-intervention or isolationism, the Roosevelt Corollary signaled a departure from a purely defensive posture, allowing the United States to take proactive measures in the region to safeguard its strategic and economic concerns. Here option B is correct.
