        At first, he succeeded by helping China secure international loans to expand its railroad system.
        
        But when he tried to help American businesses become involved in Manchuria, Japan and Russia were outraged and Taft’s plan collapsed.
        
        This failure of dollar diplomacy exposed the limitations of the U.S. government’s global influence and knowledge of international diplomacy.

        People living there were furious and became rebels who attempted to overthrow the American-friendly government of President Adolfo Díaz.

        Many resented America acting as police force
        
        disagreed with Roosevelt's belief that they were unable to police themselves
      - Japan
        
        Roosevelt intervened in the Russo-Japanese War, and convinced both sides to sign a peace treaty
        
        anti Asian sentiment on the West Coast caused troubles in relations with Japan
        
        San Fran school board banned Asians from attending public schools, and caused Japan to be angry and to fight for the immigrants
        
        Roosevelt disapproved and negotiated "Gentlemen's Agreement" where they pledged to end segregation policies. In return Japan would limit emigration of citizens to the US
