a) true
b) false

The correct answer is B. False.

Explanation

The diplomacy of the dollar was a US strategy to impose its economic superiority over other strategic countries for the interests of the United States, through promises of long-term concessions, credits and investment (trusts) in those countries (mainly in Latin America, Asia, and Africa). This strategy was developed by Theodore Roosevelt, who acted as a mediator when the maritime blockade of European countries to Venezuela occurred during the first decade of the twentieth century. This strategy was inherited by William Taft, who in his presidency had great influence in the construction of the Panama Canal, and in the economic offer to Honduras to have control of the largest banana plantations in the Caribbean.
