Question

President James Monroe and President Theodore Roosevelt shared which of the following foreign policy viewpoints?

Select one:

a. Latin America should be a particular region of focus for the United States.
b. Trade between the United States and other nations should be limited.
c. The United States should forge strong alliances with European powers.
d. U.S. military power should be used to aid revolutionary movements in Europe.

Answer 1

The answer is A: Latin America should be a particular region of focus for the United States.

Answer 2

B. Trade between the United States and other nations should be limited

James Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine which stated that any interference of Europeans into the Western Hemisphere would be taken as an act of aggression, so Monroe didn't care for international trade too much.

Theodore Roosevelt was a huge supporter of Imperialism, a practice that involved conquering other nations (islands, etc.) and exploiting their resources for the benefit of the mother country. He believed that by doing this the United States could provide for itself instead of having to trade with other countries.
