The big stick diplomacy was based around the army. They painted their ships white and made them look majestic, and powerful. President Roosevelt first used that saying a long time ago. Something about how if two countries get into an argument that they should come to the united states and we would be the political officer and help them figure it all out. Mexico, Diaz was the leader. He was Pro-Us meaning that we pulled the strings for him and controlled him, and he let us take over all of his mines. He is overthrown by to other dudes. Huerta was the final one. Silver was really big and still is in Mexico.Today basically was boring, it's a tired day i guess.. a Tuesday. Mr. Bruns talked thoroughly about all the topiccs, Tomorrow is Test day, i need to look up the questions so i can be prepared :). Learned that those people painted their ships white and that Pres. Roosevelt was the first one to say that saying.
