How did US President Woodrow Wilson defend his action to send troops to Mexico in 1914?
ChuckSiata
Although US President Woodrow Wilson had stuck to his policy of leading the nation in foreign affairs, he was careful when he took office to not exercise any extraordinary foreign measures until 1914. At that time Wilson sent US troops to protect Americans in Mexico. At that time the ruler of Mexico, Huerta, was not recognized as the leader of a recognized regime. To most Americans and the US Senate, Huerta's regime was a illegitimate one. Although Wilson had taken this action without consulting with Congress, few objected for the need of Wilson to act swiftly to protect Americans in Mexico at that time.

∙ 7y agoThe US did not recognize the revolutionary government of Victoriano Huerta. US sailors were arrested at Tampico. Although they were soon released the US demanded a 21-gun salute to the American flag as an apology, which was refused. Wilson was given false information indicating that the Germans were sending a shipment of guns to Veracruz, so Wilson sent in the marines. The guns were found and confiscated and the port was held. Public opinion favored war with Mexico, but Huerta resigned and the US recognized the new government.
