To accurately determine which U.S. president's foreign policy is illustrated by a specific primary source, it's important to analyze the context of the source itself. Here's a brief overview of the foreign policies of the presidents listed:
-
Grover Cleveland (1885-1889, 1893-1897): Known for his opposition to imperialism and the annexation of Hawaii; advocated for a non-interventionist foreign policy.
-
William McKinley (1897-1901): Associated with U.S. expansionism and imperialism, particularly through the acquisition of territories following the Spanish-American War.
-
James Monroe (1817-1825): Developed the Monroe Doctrine, which warned European nations against further colonization or interference in the Americas.
-
Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909): Advocated for a strong international presence, known for his "speak softly and carry a big stick" approach, and for the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.
Without the content of the primary source, it's hard to make a definitive choice, but if the source relates to the defense of American interests in the Western Hemisphere, it is likely linked to C. James Monroe. If it pertains to military intervention or imperialism, it may reference B. William McKinley or D. Theodore Roosevelt.
If you can provide specific details or context from the primary source, I may be able to help you identify the correct answer more accurately.
