True.

Roosevelt’s "big stick" policy — "speak softly and carry a big stick" — justified U.S. intervention in the Caribbean and Central America (Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, backing Panama's separation from Colombia to build the canal, interventions in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Haiti, Cuba). These actions increased U.S. control over local affairs and finances and generated strong resentment and anti‑American sentiment throughout Latin America.
