The difference between Roosevelt's big stick policy and Wilson’s missionary diplomacy is that Roosevelt designed the policy keeping in mind the importance of Latin America and Wilson's diplomacy was not even ready to recognize Latin America.
Explanation:
In order to secure the United States' interests within the territory spanning through the two continents of America, Roosevelt framed and implemented a policy that restricted the European countries from intervening in the affairs of Latin America.
On the other hand, Wilson's diplomacy treated Latin America as one of the most insignificant regions in the world.
