Dollar Diplomacy
Foreign policy created by U.S. Pres. William Howard Taft (served 1909–13) and his secretary of state, Philander C. Knox, to ensure the financial stability of a region while protecting and extending U.S. commercial and financial interests there.
In his final message to Congress on 3 December 1912, President William Howard Taft looked back at the foreign policy followed by the United States during his administration. Taft's remarks gave formal definition to the term "dollar diplomacy," a phrase synonymous with the diplomacy his administration pursued between 1909 and 1913. During those years the goal of diplomacy was to make the United States a commercial and financial world power.
The idea of protecting American commercial interests around the world was not new and had been part of the diplomacy of the United States since its earliest days. Efforts to trade with British and Spanish colonies in the Western Hemisphere, defense of the rights of neutrals to trade in wartime, and support of the most-favored-nation concept were all predecessors of dollar diplomacy. Yet dollar diplomacy was the subject of much controversy during the Taft administration and in the years that followed.

ROOSEVELT COROLLARY
The Roosevelt corollary was a supplement to the Monroe Doctrine with which President Theodore Roosevelt reacted to the Venezuela crisis in 1902.1903. It was articulated in 1904 and stated that the United States would intervene in the conflicts between countries in Latin America and European countries in order to avoid the pressure of direct claims of European powers on Latin America. This politic of exerting international police power built a consistent guideline within Roosevelts foreign politics as it proved consistent in later corollaries like the Big Stick Diplomacy. One can generally say, that the Monroe Doctrine aimed to prevent European intervention and the Roosevelt Corollary served to justify the US intervention throughout the globe.
