Theodore Roosevelt expanded the Monroe Doctrine through his Roosevelt Corollary, asserting that the United States had the right to intervene in the economic affairs of countries in the Americas to prevent European powers from collecting debts. This justified American imperialism and expansion. Roosevelt advocated for "Big Stick Diplomacy" and used the Panama Canal as an example of projecting American power abroad during his presidency from 1901 to 1909.
