By the end of TR's first term he had solved many international affairs. He had a firm hand on the domestic affairs, and had become famous for his "walk softly and carry a big stick" attitude. He became a trust-buster when he broke up the railroad combination in the Northwest. Then his focus was to bring big business under strong regulation of the government. He sought to regulate most trusts rather than "dissolve" them. He wanted to reduce big business control over US economy and workers. In doing so he used the Sherman Anti-trust Act of 1890.

William Howard Taft was the only man in the history of the country to have filled the offices of the President and the Chief Justice. William Taft did not use the military he used the Dollar Diplomacy. He used the Dollar Diplomacy so that he could further its foreign policy aims in Latin America and East Asia through use of its economic power by guaranteeing loans made to foreign countries.

Woodrow Wilson passed the "Clayton anti-trust act" because the "Sherman anti-trust act" only stated monopolies to be illegal and the "Clayton anti-trust act" stated that monopolies were illegal and that certain business practices that are conductive to them or result from monopolies are just as illegal.

William Taft broke up 90 trusts, this is twice as much as Theodore Roosevelt. Doing so he angered Roosevelt and big businesses. One of the biggest he broke up was U.S. steel he also bought some other companies like Tennessee Coal, Iron, and Railroad Company that further added the fall of U.S. steel.

Theodore Roosevelt was progressive in that he introduced laws that were
regulated in the workplace and provided some degree of social welfare.
He established the FDA (food and drug association), the first government
organization to regulate the quality of food and medicine products
produced in factories, and passed laws regulating workplace safety and
establishing a minimum wage.

Some consider that Wilson had a "limited" view of Progressivism. Once Wilson was elected as president in 1912, he introduced the new freedom program. He believed that government's role should be more limited, however, he wanted to reduce the protective tariff, break up monopolies, and assit normal people like farmers and workers that build roads and highways.

Wilson's Role in the Military... Ashley Roach
Woodrow Wilson's second term was centered on World War 1. He tried to keep U. S neutral but that did not work because in 1917 a German government proposed an alliance with Mexico against the U.S in war. In April of 1917 the president asked congress to declare war. After this he started the first military draft since the American Civil War. In 1919 he went to Paris to try and end the war by making a treaty. He helped establish the League of Nations but the United States never joined.

TR was made a trust-buster by two big policies. The "Big Stick Policy" and "Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890." The big stick was when TR broke up the monopoly of railroad company in Northwest. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act was to maintain economic liberty and to eliminate restraints on trade and competition.

After Worlds War I, Wilson declared the arrival the new diplomacy where secrecy and the equality of power would be replaced by open covenants and collective security. Machtpolitik is still alive today and in several parts of the world. But people can still not deny that the ways of diplomacy of 2010 is much different from the diplomacy in 1910.
