Question

how did the dominican republic react to the big stick policy

Answer 1

support for the creation of the nation of Panama in 1903, when Colombia rejected Roosevelt's proposal to build the Panama Canal.
the Dominican Republic in 1903-1905, when a debt crisis raised the specter of European intervention.
Cuba in 1906, with an American occupation lasting 28 months.
Roosevelt first articulated this slogan at the Minnesota State Fair on September 2, 1901, twelve days before the assassination of President William McKinley, which subsequently thrust him into the Presidency. Roosevelt got the term from a West African proverb,"Speak softly and carry a big stick." Roosevelt conducted an aggressive foreign policy using Big Stick Diplomacy. Through this policy, the United States became increasingly assertive in the early 1900s acting as an international police force. Eventually, the phrase "Big Stick" was used in reference to any foreign policy that backed up negotiations with the implicit threat of military force
