Answer 1

The event that permitted Roosevelt to take the actions described in the speech was "the revolt against the Colombian government by Panamanian rebels." This revolt led to the establishment of Panama as a separate nation and facilitated the negotiation of the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty, granting the United States control over the Panama Canal Zone.
