I know Theodore Roosevelt's big stick is his naval power.
Big Stick Diplomacy, a nickname coined by Roosevelt in quoting the old African proverb “Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far,” was the foreign policy that was later called the Roosevelt Corollary. It is an addition to the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. The Roosevelt Corollary stated that the United States had the right to enforce an “international police power” over the Western Hemisphere. It affirmed that other countries did not have the authority to cause unrest in the Western Hemisphere, most specifically in reference to conflicts between Europe and Latin America in the early 1900’s.
Eventually, the phrase “Big Stick” was used in reference to any foreign policy that made negotiations with diplomatic grace, backed by the possible threat of military force.

Dollar diplomacy seeks to extend a nation's business interests in other countries through superior economic power instead of war. The term was first applied to United States policy in the Caribbean and other areas during President William Howard Taft's Administration. The period from 1909 to 1913 is generally considered the era of dollar diplomacy.

Angelica,
Great job with the quick recall on the big stick being naval power... how did Teddy use the navy to get his way diplomatically. Think about S. America, Philippines, etc.
Hung,
Again you need to put quotes around source information for it to not be plagiarism. Talk to me and I will explain. Also I like your words being used. Please use more personal analysis on the historic issues. Good base sources to site though.
