The purpose of the Roosevelt Corollary was to discourage European nations from colonizing Latin America. The Corollary, which was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine articulated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, asserted that the United States had the right to intervene in the affairs of Latin American countries to maintain stability and prevent European intervention.
