Detailed explanation-1: -President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office determined to improve relations with the nations of Central and South America. Under his leadership the United States emphasized cooperation and trade rather than military force to maintain stability in the hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The policy’s success was measured in part by the rapidity with which most Latin American states rallied to the Allies during World War II. After the war, however, U.S. anticommunist policies in Europe and Asia led to renewed distrust in the Americas and the gradual lapse of the Good Neighbor Policy.
Detailed explanation-3: -The two policies are unrelated. The Roosevelt Corollary applied only to Latin America, while the Good Neighbor policy dealt with Europe. Correct answer: The Good Neighbor policy rejected the precedent of armed intervention in Latin America that began under the Roosevelt Corollary.
Detailed explanation-4: -Though America’s predominance in economic and military affairs meant it would continue to hold the upper hand in the Western Hemisphere, the Good Neighbor Policy was popular in the United States and Latin America alike, vastly improving relations between the two.
Detailed explanation-5: -What was the Good Neighbor Policy? A policy of the United States Administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt during 1933-45, with the goal of strengthening relations with Latin America and hemispheric solidarity against external threats.
