DESCRIPTION

This section examines key developments in U.S. foreign policy regarding Cuba and Panama from 1898 to 1914. It highlights the Teller and Platt Amendments, establishing a protectorate over Cuba, and the significance of the Foraker Act for Puerto Rico. The construction of the Panama Canal was crucial for faster transit between oceans, sparked by the Panamanian revolution aided by President Roosevelt. The Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty granted U.S. control over the Canal Zone, while the Roosevelt Corollary sought to assert American dominance in Latin America through dollar diplomacy.
