What did both President Roosevelt and Wilson think about Latin America?

Both President Theodore Roosevelt and President Woodrow Wilson viewed Latin America through the lens of U.S. interests but had different approaches. Roosevelt believed in a more interventionist policy, exemplified by his "Big Stick" diplomacy, which justified using military force to maintain stability and protect U.S. interests. In contrast, Wilson advocated for moral diplomacy, promoting democracy and human rights while being more cautious about military intervention. Despite their differing methods, both presidents aimed to assert U.S. influence in the region.
