Question

1 multiple choice 3 points the roosevelt corollary to the monroe doctrine called for intervening in latin american countries that could not pay their debt to european creditors. pledging to help japan and russia negotiate a peace settlement. prohibiting foreign countries from purchasing land in the western hemisphere. investing in the economic development of latin america. clear my selection

Explanation:

The Roosevelt Corollary, an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, established that the U.S. would act as a "police power" in the Western Hemisphere. It specifically authorized intervention in Latin American nations that faced debt defaults to European powers, to prevent European military intervention in the region. The other options are unrelated: mediating Japan-Russia peace was the Treaty of Portsmouth, prohibiting land purchases was part of other policies, and targeted economic investment was not the core of this corollary.

Answer:

intervening in Latin American countries that could not pay their debt to European creditors.
