President Theodore Roosevelt's commitment to the proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far," was most clearly shown when he (2) intervened in Latin American affairs. Roosevelt was largely involved with the affairs of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia and Cuba. Although he wasn't as aggressive as other presidents had been, he left on the table that he would protect the United States as best as he could if anything should happen.
