Changes

The '''Roosevelt Corollary''' was issued by [[POTUS|President]] [[Teddy Roosevelt]] in 1904. The [[Monroe Doctrine]], issued in 1823, asked the [[Europeans]] not to increase their influence on countries in the [[Americas]]. Roosevelt had grown concerned that, possibly, the [[Dominican Republic]] and it's creditors might spark an invasion of European powers on the Americas. So, he came out with the Corollary. It stated that the United States could, as a last resort, intervene so that the Europeans fulfilled their obligations to the Americas.  Roosevelt said that the United States might "Exercise international police power in 'flagrant cases of such wrongdoing importance.'" The Roosevelt Corollary has served to justify the United States in [[Cuba]], [[Nicaragua]], [[Haiti]], and the [[Dominican Republic]]. The only time the Corollary has not been enforced was during the [[Falklands War]] of 1983 between the [[dictatorship]] in [[Argentina]] and the [[United Kingdom]].
