The "Roosevelt Corollary"  was announced by President Teddy Roosevelt in 1904. It declares that the United States may  "intervene" in any Latin American country in order to protect the intrests of the United States. In other words, the United States may occupy any country in South America that we see as a problem. For example, the communists in Cuba and Venezuela could be seen as a problem, giving the United States a reason to occupy either country.

The Roosevelt Corollary was issued by 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 Stares in Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.
