Answer 1

The purpose of the Roosevelt Corollary was to discourage European nations from colonizing Latin America. It declared that the United States would intervene in conflicts between European nations and Latin American countries to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers but would also prevent European nations from using the debt issues as a pretext for colonization or intervention in the region.
