what president said speak softly and carry a big stick
Big Stick ideology Big stick ideology, big stick diplomacy, or big stick policy refers to U.S. President Theodore Rooseveltâ€™s foreign policy: "speak softly and carry a big stick." Roosevelt described his style of foreign policy as "the exercise of intelligent forethought and of decisive action sufficiently far in advance of any likely crisis."[1]
Keep Calm and Carry On The Keep Calm and Carry On poster was designed by the Ministry of Information during the period of 27 June to 6 July 1939.[6] It was produced as part of a series of three "Home Publicity" posters (the others read "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory" and "Freedom Is in Peril / Defend It With All Your Might"). Each poster showed the slogan under a representation of a "Tudor Crown" (a symbol of the state). They were intended to be distributed to strengthen morale in the event of a wartime disaster, such as mass bombing of major cities using high explosives and poison gas, which was widely expected within hours of an outbreak of war.[2]
