What were the consequences of US entanglement with Mexico in the wake of the Mexican Revolution?

Answer 1

The consequences of US entanglement with Mexico in during the Mexican Revolution was the loss of U.S. industry, political angst against Americans, and the first discussion on democracy or stability. US industry's were heavily invested in Mexican resources such as silver, coal, and especially petroleum. These industries were hurt hard as the mines and oil fields were confiscated by Revolutionary leaders in order to help fund the war effort. These US businessmen fought hard in congress to support the status quo of Mexico in order to recapture their capital. Furthermore, the United States was hard pressed to intervene as the Mexican leaders seemed to turn on each other as soon as won made it to office. This led to Wilson support of Huerta who was becoming a new Diaz in his own right. Mexican politics now always look for ways to not include the United States because they wish to be self reliant and not have anymore help from foreigners. While in the United States the effects of the Revolution have completely dissipated to the point that many Americans didn't even realize that Mexico had Revolution that involved heavy U.S. participation.
