c) Franklin D. Roosevelt
The ‘Good Neighbor Policy,’ a diplomatic initiative of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, focused on non-intervention and non-interference in the domestic affairs of Latin America. Announced in 1933, this policy marked a significant departure from previous U.S. interventions in the region. Roosevelt’s approach emphasized mutual respect, economic cooperation, and the promotion of good will, aiming to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with Latin American countries. The Good Neighbor Policy was a cornerstone of Roosevelt’s foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere, contributing to improved relations and a reduction in military interventions during his presidency. It reflected a shift towards a more cooperative and less imperialistic U.S. approach in its neighborhood.
