It is "Speak Softly and carry a big stick" at here the big stick means the US Military, for example the canal in Panama, the US did not want to go all around Latin America to get supplies to the other side of the US or other countries so they wanted to build a canal so it can decrease the time. First the Columbia people had control of Panama so they did not want the US to intervent them, so then TR used the Big Stick Diplomacy to let Panama independence and get rid of the Colombia's then the Panama's would let the US build the canal. This is a example from the Big Stick Diplomacy, hope this helps. And also this happened during 1901.
The theory is that leaders strive for peace while also keeping other nations aware of its military power. Teddy Roosevelt said to 'walk softly but carry a big stick". It is something that the US still does today.
Speak diplomatically, but carry a big stick, e.g. the threat of using military force as one prong of foreign policy. A country may not want to negotiate, but when a threat is used strategically, it can change minds.
Roosevelt's Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine that declared the United States could intervene, or use military force to keep peace, in Latin American countries when necessary. Dollar Diplomacy focused on business. Taft believed the United States should invest in other countries to maintain and increase its power. Wall street bankers backed loans made by US business to foreign countries. Basically, Roosevelt's "big stick" was military and Taft's "big stick" was business.
Roosevelt beleived the us had a responsibility to civil other nations
Roosevelt believed the United States had a responsibility to "civilize" other nations.
Speak softly and carry a big stick. In this case the big stick is the US Military, if we let the other countries know that we have a strong military we don't need to speak too much, which is speak softly we just need to let the countries know we have a strong US military.
barack obama Probably Teddy Roosevelt. His view of world diplomacy was, "Speak softly, but carry a big stick!"
The US does not use diplomacy in the traditional sense. The US favours intimidation and aggression which, many would argue, is a decidedly undiplomatic approach.

Big stick diplomacy -Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far. *Meaning that if you say something to someone and they don't do it you use military power to get it done
Roosevelt used the "big stick" because he believed he had it to use. The US had proved a few years before that its navy could stand up to Spain and that the army and marines could hold its own its own in small-scale land wars. He believed that the US should continues its policy established by the Monroe Doctrine decades before to protect American countries from foreign intervention or take-over. The problem in his day was more from economic threats from foreign countries trying to collect debts than from dreams of colonization, but Roosevelt saw a parallel.
