FINAL ANSWER (Essay)

The Roosevelt Corollary and the Monroe Doctrine were statements made by Theodore Roosevelt and James Monroe, respectively, that dealt with foreign policy. Both policies concluded that Europe had no business tampering with the Western Hemisphere, and they should be confined to their side of the Atlantic ocean. However, there are several significant differences between these addresses. The Monroe Doctrine was weak because the US had no way of enforcing the riddance of pesky European powers. Europe didn't take the Monroe Doctrine seriously and considered it an "idle threat." In contrast, the Roosevelt Corollary was strong because the US military was able to effectively intimidate and enforce its stance. The Great White Fleet was constructed with the help of Theodore Roosevelt to help protect the Western Hemisphere from the greedy Europeans who might try to invade its territory.
