President Woodrow Wilson ordered American troops to intervene in elections in South America starting in 1913, later in the World War 1. Interestingly he ran a Campaign on the fact that he would NOT get America involved in the European conflict (WWI) and that he would NOT raise taxes.

President Wilson said; "I am going to teach the South American republics to elect good men."

Between 1914 and 1918, the U.S. intervened in Mexico, Haiti, Cuba, Panama and maintained Military troops in Nicaraqua. These troops were used to select the President of Nicaragua and forced them to pass the Bryan-Chamorro Treaty.

U.S. Troops in Haiti forced Haiti to pick the Candidate Pres. Wilson 'picked' for President.

Pres. Wilson ordered the occupation of the Dominican Republic in 1916 after its president resigned. He ordered vicious brutality against the Campesino Guerrila's that where fighting against Pres. Wilson's wealthy landowners in the Dominican Republic.

Looking at his campaign promises to what he actually did, he in fact raised taxes, Helped create the PRIVATE (not a federal building or agency) Federal Reserve Bank, side stepped the U.S. Constitution to send troops to Latin America and quickly got into WWI.

What helped lead the United states to enter world war 1?

The British, who had made war for 3 years, were unable to win against the Germans, et al. They began pleading more and more for the US to send American troops. This finally led to the peaceful President Wilson to order General Pershing and his troops to Europe to help the British. The British wanted the American troops to fight from the trenches to replace British soldiers who died or who were disable. Pershing, clever man that he was, refused to relinquish his men to trench warfare, which was going nowhere, and would never win the war. He sent his troops out in brilliant movements to move into German territory and to attack the Germans troops directly. THIS plan worked, and the war ended about a year later.
