If President Woodrow Wilson believed in moral diplomacy why did he send American forces into Mexico to pursue Francisco 'Pancho' Villa?

What were President Wilson's Fourteen Points?

The first five of Wilson's Fourteen Points were quite general:

I. The Abolition of Secret Treaties Secret treaties were common before the First World War, and many blamed them for helping spark the conflict.

II. The Freedom of the Seas The freedom of the seas allowed for freedom of navigation outside territorial waters at times of war and peace, but also allowed for total and partial blockades "for the enforcement of international covenants." This proposal was opposed in particular by the United Kingdom.

III. Free Trade Free trade provided for the removal of economic barriers between peaceful nations, also called for the introduction of equality in trading conditions.

IV. Disarmament Disarmament "to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety."

V. Adjustment of Colonial Claims. Wilson called for decolonization and national self-determination for formerly colonized countries, and for the people of the world to give equal weight to the opinions of the colonized peoples as to those of the colonial powers.

Points six through thirteen were more specific, dealing with the situation of specific countries:

VI. Russia In the aftermath of the October Revolution and the context of the ongoing Civil War, Russia was to be assured its independent development. This also called for a withdrawal from occupied Russian territory.

VII. The restoration of Belgium Belgium to be evacuated and restored to the status quo ante bellum.

VIII. Alsace-Lorraine France had lost Alsace-Lorraine to Germany following the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War; it was to be returned.

IX. Italy The borders of Italy were to be redrawn on lines of nationality. Ignoring the territorial promises made under the secret 1915 London Pact, whereby Italy was persuaded to enter the war on the Allies' side, this became a source of resentment in that country.

X. Austria-Hungary Autonomous development of the peoples of Austria-Hungary.

XI. Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, and other Balkan states The integrity of Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, and other Balkan states was to be respected, their territories deoccupied, and Serbia was to be given access to the Adriatic Sea.

XII. Ottoman Empire Sovereignty for the Turkish portion of the Ottoman Empire, autonomous development for other nationalities, and free navigation of the Dardanelles.

XIII. The Polish question The establishment of an independent Poland with access to the sea.

Wilson's final point was perhaps the most visionary:

XIV. A general association of nations Point 14 called for a multilateral international association of nations to enforce the peace, foreshadowing the League of Nations (and, after the Second World War, the United Nations).

How the US end its participation in World War 1?

America joined the war late.

At the last major battle, the second battle of Marne, France and Britain made America stay in Paris because they didn't think we could fight at all.

Germany outsmarted the British and French troops and made their way to take over Paris. They met us and we couldn't fight at all, but the Germans were starving and couldn't fight like they could at the beginning of the war. We held off the Germans long enough for reinforcements to arrive. If we hadn't been there, the Central Powers would have won.

What were the similarities and differences between Roosevelt's big stick diplomacy and Wilson's missionary diplomacy?

Both Rooseveltâ??s Big Stick Policy and Wilsonâ??s Missionary Diplomacy were centered around Latin Americaâ??s relationship with the United States and were addendums to the Monroe Doctrine. However, Rooseveltâ??s policy was based on the idea of peaceful negotiations while threatening military action. While it was used in both domestic miner strikers and in dealing with Asia, Roosevelt used it primarily in Latin America especially in the case of the Panama Canal. He used it in conjunction with the Roosevelt Corollary. Meanwhile, Wilsonâ??s Missionary Diplomacy stated that the Wilson administration would recognize no Latin American governments that were hostile to American interests.

What was Woodrow Wilson's position regarding women's sufferage after he took office?

Woodrow Wilson was a moderate in many ways, but he was a traditionalist in others-- gender roles were certainly one area where he was very conservative, at least during his first term. He expressed what some called "luke-warm" support for women getting the vote, and while he did not actively oppose the suffrage campaign, he also did nothing to help it. Frustrated by his lack of enthusiasm, women began to picket the White House in early 1917, and Wilson was very displeased. He regarded the protests as a noisy spectacle, and responded by having some of the protesters arrested; newspaper accounts noted that the women taken into custody were treated very harshly, and while some Americans thought the women had brought it on themselves, others were appalled that female protesters should be imprisoned just for demanding the right to vote.

By now, the attitude of the country towards women's suffrage was changing. A growing number of states had given women the right to vote for mayor or governor, and there was even one woman in the House of Representatives-- Jeannette Rankin was sent to congress from her home state of Montana. As the population was shifting, President Wilson shifted too (some historians believe he wanted women to get the vote so they would approve some of his policies, but others believe he just gradually accepted the inevitable change in public opinion); whatever the reason, by 1918, he had become a supporter of giving women the vote.

3) The US didn't support these ideas. They soon became fed up with the involvement in the European problems that they had. The US became more of an ISOLATIONIST

What did Alice paul do when president Woodrow Wilson refused to support woman suffrage?

Alice Paul led relentless picketing outside of the White House. She herself did not picket as being one of the leaders of the NWP (National Women's Party) was too valuable and could not risk being arrested etc. Many women were arrested on charges of "obstructing traffic" which was bs but the women couldn't do anything about it. Alice Paul soon joined her fellow women and picketed outside the White House, resulting in her arrest. The women picketing outside the White House were often looked down upon and scorned by passing civilians due to their protesting during a war time. Many believed that the protesting women were terrible for not supporting Wilson and brought shame to America. boo yah
