This political cartoonist about Roosevelt Corollary. “The Worlds Constable” represent the U.S. to remain as police man in Western Hemisphere. The cartoonist message is Roosevelt get “Big Stick” with the new diplomacy that other nations didn’t satisfy. Big Stick is a policy due to the fact that at the time the U.S. had arguably the best military and we put on a show of force to ward off potential attackers. Roosevelt seemed like he is king of that position, and the other foreigners keep demanding something on him. The other opinion that another person could have on this issue is why the other nations didn’t collaborate to attack Roosevelt? Why they are smaller than the U.S. to get that “Big Stick.” The cartoonist used labeling “The New Diplomacy” on the Big Stick that can be shows the U.S. power in that time. And the cartoonist also used exaggeration that Roosevelt is bigger than other foreigners. this cartoon support my pro-imperialism position. Roosevelt get Big Stick to show his power on U.S. that protect their position on Latin America.
