Answer 1

To effectively compare the goals of "big stick" diplomacy and dollar diplomacy, we need to identify the primary characteristics of each approach.

1. "Big Stick" Diplomacy (associated with Theodore Roosevelt):

   • Emphasizes military intervention and the threat of force to achieve foreign policy goals.
   • Focuses on reinforcing U.S. control over Latin America.
   • Utilizes military power to end conflicts.

2. Dollar Diplomacy (associated with William Howard Taft):

   • Aims to use economic power and financial investments to extend U.S. influence and control abroad.
   • Prioritizes establishing financial stability in countries, particularly in Latin America and East Asia.
   • Seeks to minimize military intervention by resolving conflicts through economic means.

Given these characteristics, the best chart that compares the two types of diplomacy would ideally include the following distinctions:

• "Big Stick" Diplomacy: End conflict with military intervention/force, establish U.S. military power, reinforce U.S. control over Latin America, reduced use of military intervention.
• Dollar Diplomacy: End conflict peacefully, establish financial stability, expand U.S. economic interests.

The most fitting chart from your options would be:

“Big Stick” Diplomacy Dollar Diplomacy

• End conflict with military intervention/force
• Establish financial stability
• Reinforce U.S. control over Latin America
• End conflict peacefully
• Reduced use of military intervention
• Establish U.S. military power
• Expand U.S. economic interests

This option accurately reflects the objectives of both diplomatic approaches and captures their fundamental differences.
