    Explanation:

    William Taft was a former President of the US, he had a foreign policy that was committed to the expansion of U. S foreign trade. He pursued a program that was called "dollar diplomacy" that encouraged US investments in South and Central America, the Caribbean and the Far East.

    This forced Latin American nations to become dependent on the dollar to prevent any European intervention. The US shaped Latin American economy to be better suited to the US trade and business interests.

    In Honduras, the US established financial control by buying all national debt and made the country dependent on US dollar when Honduras did not agree with that the US sponsored a revolution which installed a pro-US regime that accepted the Dollar Diplomacy.
