Reform-The New Nationalism
• TR pushed for other reforms such as the 8 hour day, compensation for victims of industrial accidents, income taxes, and regulation of the stock market. He criticized those conservatives who would not go along with his reform measures. This caused a split in his support within the party.

orders

• He was convinced that there were the “civilized” and the “uncivilized” nations in the world.
• Civilized Nations: white, Anglo-Saxon, economically developed and producers of industrial goods
• Uncivilized Nations: generally nonwhite, Latin or Slavic, sources of raw materials and markets
![Page 13: Ap chapter 22](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558c041fd8b42a73788b4600/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Racism did not play the only role of distinction in his judgment. Japan was an economically developed nation, therefore it was civilized.

• Proponent of a powerful Navy

Iron Fist Neighbor
• When the government of the Dominican Republic was deeply in dent to several European nations, France and Italy were threatening to take over the country if the debt wasn’t promptly repaid. TR repeated the principles of the Monroe Doctrine and added the Roosevelt Corollary that stated the US would intervene in the affairs of any Latin American country that proved incapable of governing itself. Very controversial.
![Page 16: Ap chapter 22](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558c041fd8b42a73788b4600/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Panama Canal
![Page 17: Ap chapter 22](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/558c041fd8b42a73788b4600/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Roosevelt saw construction of a canal through Central America as vital to American power in the world. A canal would save time and money for both commercial and military shipping.
The US offered Colombia $10 million for the right to construct a canal but they said no.
So then the US persuaded some Panamanians to revolt against the Colombia government with our help. Within 2 weeks Panama was an independent country and the US had a treaty with them to build a canal.
