Theodore
Roosevelt: Evaluation
Theodore
Roosevelt was unique. Competent in his exercise of American power,
he set a precedent in U.S. foreign policy no leader has yet followed.
He was a superb manipulator of the balance power, and advanced
American interests throughout the world whenever policy.
Although
Rooseveltism is not the guiding principal of United
States foreign policy today, Roosevelt prepared the United States for
the end of its isolationist period and paved the way for later
diplomats to follow his lead and mediate problems not only in the
Western Hemisphere, but throughout the world. |
