Question

roosevelt expands u.s. involvement overseas
in your own words, describe roosevelt’s foreign policy. if you had to explain it to a friend who has never taken u.s. history,
how would you summarize it?

Explanation:

Roosevelt's (Theodore or Franklin, here likely Theodore with "Big Stick" or Franklin with Lend - Lease etc., but generally) foreign policy aimed at increasing U.S. influence globally. For a friend, you could say: “Roosevelt wanted the U.S. to play a bigger role overseas. He used a mix of diplomacy and, when needed, showing U.S. military strength (like the ‘Big Stick’ policy for Theodore) or helping allies (like Franklin’s Lend - Lease to help fight fascism) to make the U.S. more important in world affairs, whether in Latin America, Asia, or Europe, to protect U.S. interests and spread its influence.”

Answer:

Roosevelt's foreign policy (e.g., Theodore's "Big Stick" or Franklin's Lend - Lease - era approach) sought to expand U.S. global involvement, using diplomacy, military - strength - projection (or aid to allies), to increase U.S. influence and protect its interests across regions like Latin America, Asia, or Europe.
