The Roosevelt Corollary
This political cartoon is about the Roosevelt Corollary. I know because there is a huge cannon which says monroe doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary was created from the monroe doctrine. The cartoonist's message on this is issue is that no eastern hemisphere could at any cost try to rule over some country in the western hemisphere or the US was ready to take measures. I know because England was trying to claim the Republic of Santo Domingo in the cartoon and Roosevelt is standing there with a cannon pointed at England's head. Opinions in the west were probably positive because now no other country in the eastern hemisphere could try to take control of a country in the western hemisphere. Opinions in the eastern hemisphere were probably the opposite because now entering the western hemisphere to try to rule a country was now impossible because of the roosevelt corollary. On of the techniques the cartoonist used was labeling because the cannon is labeled monroe doctrine and the little island is labeled Republic Of Santo Domingo. Another technique that was used was exaggeration because I don't think a cannon on a ship is usually that big. Yes this cartoon supports my position on imperialism because now with US not letting any of the countries in the eastern hemisphere rule over the countries in the western hemisphere. I think that's a good start on not ruling over any countries at all.
