Theodore Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He added the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, allowing the USA to intervene in Latin America against indebted countries or other countries with "chronic wrongdoing."[1]
Pre-presidency[edit | edit source]
Roosevelt fought in the Spanish–Statesian War and compared the Filipino independence fighter Emilio Aguinaldo to Sitting Bull and the Apaches.[2]
Presidency[edit | edit source]
In 1903, Roosevelt backed a secessionist rebellion that separated Panama from Colombia. The USA then took over part of Panama to build the Panama Canal. In 1907, he secured funding to build a navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The next year, he started a naval buildup and sent 16 battleships around the world. He oversaw invasions of Cuba in 1906, the Dominican Republic in 1903 and 1904, and Honduras in 1903 and 1907.[1]
