Teddy Roosevelt and The Nobel Peace PrizeTeddy Roosevelt became president in 1901. In 1904, Russia declared war on Japan. Both countries were trying to get control of Korea. Japan asked Teddy Roosevelt for his help to settle the war. Eventually Teddy had them shaking hands and he made them form a peace treaty called the Portsmouth Treaty. The Japanese won the war in 1905. They won because the had outplanned the Russians, they asked TR for help because they knew that if it was a long conflict they would not win because Russia has such a large amount of manpower and resources. The Treaty of Portsmouth ended the war and gave Manchiria and the korean peninsula to Japan. They also got the southern part of Sakaline Island. Teddy won it for winning the war.Panama CanalMonroe Doctrine1823- We told Europe that if they tried to colonize anymore in America it would be viewed as a hostile threat... basically it was a warning to Europe to stay out of the western hemisphere, or else.Roosevelt CorolaryAn addition to the Monroe Doctrine.. if Europe had any issues with Latin America they needed to come to us so we could help settle it. Basically at the time Latin America borrowed a lot of money from Europe and never paid them back so Europe would go there and they wouldn't leave.... we didn't like that.Big Stick DiplomacyA policy where we would go to other countries and use our military to get what we wanted... nicely. By doing this we were saying, "Don't mess with us," without even saying it. Big Stick = Military Power.Dollar DiplomacyBusinesses and banks would give out loans to other countries so we had a lot of economic imperialism and control and all that good stuff. We did not go into other countries and take over them physically, but we had control over them.Missionary DiplomacyIf any government comes into power in a bad way we would refuse to recognize that government as in charge of that country... we would only recognize countries that are friendly of the United States.
