Abstract

When Franklin D. Roosevelt first assumed office as President of the United States, he inherited a new Latin American policy from his predecessor, Herbert Hoover. Hoover had made sincere overtures to the Latin Americans in order to dispel their fears and dislike for the United States. By officially repudiating the Roosevelt Corollary, encouraging a peaceful settlement of the Tacna-Arica dispute, ending the Marine occupation in Nicaragua, instigating the withdrawal of United States forces in Haiti, and theoretically abandoning “nonrecognition” as an implement of political pressure. Hoover successfully laid the ground work for the Good neighbor policy which Roosevelt vigorously pursued.
