How did the us apply the Roosevelt corollary in the Caribbean?

The Roosevelt Corollary, established in 1904, was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, asserting the U.S. right to intervene in Latin American countries to maintain stability and prevent European intervention. In the Caribbean, the U.S. applied this policy through military interventions and diplomatic pressure, notably in the Dominican Republic and Cuba. For instance, in 1905, the U.S. took control of the Dominican Republic's customs to manage its debt and prevent European intervention. This approach often involved direct military involvement and the establishment of protectorates to safeguard U.S. interests in the region.
