The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe doctrine was not unimportant but it was mostly just talk. As the distinguished historian, Howard Beale points out, he generally showed restraint during his tenure. Intervention in a major way began under Taft and Wilson.

Perhaps, but you made the assertion that TR's administration was "a model of restraint in foreign policy". Nothing in that declaration is "restrained".
