policies in Latin America were beneficial for the rapidly growing United States, but left an impact on Latin America that was both positive and negative. President Roosevelt took past policies of the United States, such as the unenforced Monroe Doctrine of 1823, and amended them to have the backing of the Navy in the early 1900s. One particular amendment was called the Platt Amendment of 1901, and opened the door to United States expansionism under President Roosevelt. It was under this amendment

This speech was given 27 years after President George Washington gave his farewell address speech regarding excessive political party spirit and geographical distinctions. These two documents are very important together because Washington’s declared foreign policy and the Monroe doctrine was used in foreign policy to stay
