William Howard Taft

Theodore Roosevelt

The dollar diplomacy was William Howard Taft's plan to promote U.S. trade by supporting American enterprises abroad. The Big-Stick policy was developed by T.R where the big stick symbolizes his power and readiness to use military force to intimidating countries without actually harming them and was the basis of U.S. imperialistic foreign policy.
