Evaluate the level of success achieved by either Theodore Roosevelt or Wilfrid Laurier or one Latin American leader during this period.

Candidates will make an appraisal of the degree of success achieved by one of the stated leaders or a Latin American leader during the period by making an appraisal of the strengths and limitations of their actions. The question requires that the chosen leader’s policies both domestic and foreign be considered, but not necessarily equally. These policies may relate to economics, legal issues, social and cultural initiatives, or constitutional matters among others. Foreign policy may relate to, for example, trade, alliances, conflicts, and national prestige. Success may be judged by the impact that the policies achieved, the degree to which they fulfilled the aims of the leader and/or the support that they achieved from the populace.
