From 1900 to 1915, a basic aim of U.S. foreign policy was to expand American influence and control in the Western Hemisphere, primarily through the implementation of the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary. This period saw the U.S. increasingly intervene in Latin American affairs to maintain stability and protect American interests. Additionally, the U.S. sought to establish itself as a global power by engaging in diplomatic and military actions, such as the construction of the Panama Canal. Overall, the focus was on promoting American economic interests while asserting its authority in the region.
