Moral Diplomacy is a form of diplomacy proposed by US President Woodrow Wilson in his 1912 election. Moral Diplomacy is a system in which support is given only to countries whose moral beliefs are analogous to that of the nation. The purpose is to promote the growth of the nation's ideals and damages nations with different ideologies. Wilson felt that the US had a duty to spread democracy, and used aggressive moral diplomacy to ensure it.
Under the doctrine Moral Diplomacy Wilson intervened in the affairs of several other countries, specifically Latin America including
- Mexico in 1914: When Victoriano Huerta siezed control of Mexico in 1913 during one of the Mexican Revolutions, Wilson refused to recognize him, because he had illegally seized power. In April 1914, Mexican officials in Tampico arrested a few American sailors who blundered into a prohibited area, and Wilson used the incident to justify ordering the U.S. Navy to occupy the port city of Veracruz. This greatly weakened Huerta's control, and he surrendered power to another politician (and competing revolutionary), whom Wilson immediately recognized as the president of Mexico.
- Haiti from 1915 -1934: American troops in Haiti, under the command of the federal government, forced the Haitian legislature to choose as Haitian president the candidate Wilson selected
- Dominican Republic in 1916: A political deadlock in 1914 was broken after an ultimatum by Wilson telling the Dominicans to choose a president or see the U.S. impose one, but 2 years later with the former Dominican Secretary of War maneuvering to seize control of the government Wilson ordered the U.S. occupation of the Dominican Republic. U.S. Marines landed on May 16, 1916, and had control of the country two months later.Wilson instituted a military government that stayed in place for the rest of Wilson's administration and was dismantled by his successor Warren G. Harding. (The U.S. government's rule ended in October 1922,)
- Cuba in 1917: In 1916, Mario Garcia Menocal, Cuba's incumbent conservative president, was reelected to office, defeating Alfredo Zayas, the liberal candidate, in an election marred by fraud. The liberals protested and the Cuban supreme court upheld their protests. New elections were scheduled for February 1917 in several provinces, but before they were completed, the liberals rose in revolt. Various skirmishes ensued; a small force of US Marines landed at Santiago in Oriente province, a liberal center, and restored order; within a few weeks (March 1917) Menocal's forces had crushed the rebels. US president Woodrow Wilson sought to maintain order in Cuba now that the United States was involved in World War I and believed Menocal was more sympathetic to the Allies. Cuba declared war on Germany on April 7, 1917. Menocal, inaugurated as president on May 20, 1917, asked for and received US troops, which remained in Cuba until 1923.
- Panama 1918: In 1914 the United States completed the Panama Canal under the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty the United States was granted control of the Panama Canal Zone "as if it were sovereign". In that zone, the U.S. would build a canal, then administer, fortify, and defend it "in perpetuity". The internal dynamics of Panamanian politics encouraged appeals to the United States by any currently disgruntled faction for intervention to secure its allegedly infringed rights. United States diplomatic personnel in Panama also served as advisers to Panamanian officials, a policy resented by nationalists. Actual intervention took several forms. United States officials supervised elections at the request of incumbent governments. To protect lives of United States citizens and property in Chiriquí Province, an occupation force was stationed there for two years over the protests of Panamanians who contended that the right of occupation could apply only to the two major cities.
- In addition, Wilson maintained troops in Nicaragua throughout his administration and used them to select the president of Nicaragua.

What was one of the results of the moral diplomacy?
One of the results of moral diplomacy, particularly under President Woodrow Wilson, was the promotion of human rights and self-determination in foreign policy, which aimed to support democratic nations while opposing authoritarian regimes. This approach led to increased involvement in Latin America, exemplified by interventions in countries like Mexico and Nicaragua, where the U.S. sought to export its democratic ideals. However, this often resulted in mixed outcomes, including resentment and instability in the regions affected by U.S. intervention. Ultimately, moral diplomacy highlighted the complexities and contradictions of applying ethical principles to international relations.
How were moral diplomacy and dollar diplomacy different?
dollar diplomacy- term used (by those who opposed it)[1]to describe the efforts of the United States - particularly under President William Howard Taft - to further its foreign policy aims in Latin America and East Asia through use of its economic power by guaranteeing loans made to foreign countries. moral diplomacy-most commonly connected to the Wilson Administration, called for the United States to not interfere with foreign affairs. Wilson used the slogan that had kept the country out of World War I thus far to win his second term. Although key to developing this policy, he was quick to disregard its main points when he entered the first World War. Because of Britain's monopoly on the transatlantic telephone line, America's main source of war news was biased in favor of the Allies. When combined with the preexisting prejudice towards increasingly imperialistic Germany, the support for Britain was virtually unanimous leading up to the war. Ironically, Wilson declared America's entry into the war in seeming negation of his famed "Moral Diplomacy." and then we got it onn mofoos
Explain the key difference between Woodrow Wilson's moral diplomacy and Teddy Roosevelt's big stick diplomacy?
Moral diplomacy is the name used for a form of diplomacy proposed by Woodrow Wilson. Wilson, elected President of the United States in 1912, disliked the heavy-handed foreign policy of his predecessors. He said, "The force of America is the force of moral principle." The central idea behind his policy of "moral diplomacy" was to influence and control foreign nations and events through the exercise of economic power. In Europe, however, World War I had begun, and Wilson favored neutrality. Under President Woodrow Wilson's "moral diplomacy" approach, William Jennings Bryan was appointed to the position of Secretary of State. Wilson also proposed an apology and compensation for U.S. actions in Panama to Colombia, but this was rejected by Congress. Big Stick Diplomacy, a nickname coined by Roosevelt in quoting the old African proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far," was the foreign policy that was later called the Roosevelt Corollary. It is an addition to the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. The Roosevelt Corollary stated that the United States had the right to enforce an "international police power" over the Western Hemisphere. It affirmed that other countries did not have the authority to cause unrest in the Western Hemisphere, most specifically in reference to conflicts between Europe and Latin America in the early 1900's. Eventually, the phrase "Big Stick" was used in reference to any foreign policy that made negotiations with diplomatic grace, backed by the possible threat of military force.
