Why did Wilson consider the intervention in Mexico to be an example of “moral diplomacy”?

Respuesta :

Answer:- He wanted the U.S. to promote democracy which would create a world free of revolution and war. He hoped the U.S. would lead by moral example, but foreign affairs absorbed much of his time and energy as president.

Wilson interfered in the affairs of Mexico and believed this was "moral diplomacy" because it led to the removal of an authoritarian leader.

President Woodrow Wilson:

  • Was determined to spread "moral diplomacy" around the world
  • Believed "moral diplomacy" meant supporting nations to achieve a democratic government

When he came to power in the U.S., Mexico was under the control of General Victoriano Huerta who led a very repressive regime in Mexico. Wilson used the Veracruz Incident to discredit Huerta which forced him from power.

Wilson justified this by saying that Huerta was repressive and so this fell under "moral diplomacy."

In conclusion, Wilson pursued moral diplomacy abroad but allowed racial policies at home.
