Hoover was not give the chance to solve the nation's economic crisis. He lost the election to Franklin Roosevelt. When an economic downturn occurs, people blame the president and vote for the opposition. They figure that a change is in order and Roosevelt capitalized on the situation, blaming Hoover and make wild promises to fix the problem. As often happens in such situation, a new Congress rode in on his coat tails and rubber-stamped all of his programs, even those that were unconstitutional.
Roosevelt used the "big stick" because he believed he had it to use. The US had proved a few years before that its navy could stand up to Spain and that the army and marines could hold its own its own in small-scale land wars. He believed that the US should continues its policy established by the Monroe Doctrine decades before to protect American countries from foreign intervention or take-over. The problem in his day was more from economic threats from foreign countries trying to collect debts than from dreams of colonization, but Roosevelt saw a parallel.
