To accurately identify which U.S. president's foreign policy is illustrated by your primary source, it would be necessary to examine the specific content and context of that primary source. However, I can provide a brief overview of each president's foreign policy to help you determine the correct answer:
A. **Grover Cleveland**: His foreign policy was characterized by a reluctance to engage in overseas expansion and a focus on maintaining peace in the Americas. Cleveland opposed imperialism and was critical of the annexation of Hawaii.
B. **William McKinley**: He is known for his imperialistic policies, including the annexation of Hawaii, involvement in the Spanish-American War, and the establishment of the Philippines as a U.S. territory.
C. **James Monroe**: He is best known for the Monroe Doctrine, which stated that the Americas should be closed to European colonization and that the U.S. would not interfere in European affairs. His policy was aimed at limiting European influence in the Western Hemisphere.
D. **Theodore Roosevelt**: His foreign policy was summarized by the phrase "speak softly and carry a big stick." Roosevelt was known for aggressive diplomacy, including the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine and significant involvement in Latin America and the construction of the Panama Canal.
If you provide more details about the primary source, I can help you make a more informed choice.
