The United States emerged as a global power after the Spanish-American War in 1898, which marked a significant shift in international influence. Under President Theodore Roosevelt, the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine in 1904 reinforced this assertive foreign policy. Today, discussions about Roosevelt's vision reflect ongoing debates about governance and power dynamics in American politics, particularly among Democratic voters in New York City.
