This political cartoon addresses the Roosevelt Corollary enforcing the Monroe Doctrine. I know this because Europe is trying to claim the Republic of Santo Domingo, but Theodore Roosevelt is stopping Europe with the Monroe doctrine. The cartoonist believes that Europe saw this as unfair. You can tell this because the look on Europe's face is disgusted and shows hatred and anger towards Roosevelt. Some people might say that this is a good thing because It makes there a less likely chance that more countries will go to war. Others might see this as bad because other countries might stop trade as a way to get back at America for keeping them away. One technique the cartoonist used was labeling. They used labeling to show what each represent the countries. Another technique used was symbolism. The cartoonist used symbolism to show what each country was trying to do. This cartoon addresses my claim that America can sometimes go to far when it came to imperialism.
