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.

What did Woodrow Wilson want from Treaty of Versailles?

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

How do write a paragraph explaining why President Wilson asked Congress to arm American merchant ships?

Although the United States had not yet entered World War I, its merchant ships were still being attacked by German forces. As a means of protecting American ships and their crew, Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to give the ships the ability to defend themselves.

What was Wilson's intervention in Mexico?

He ignored Mexico due to poor diplomatic relations, until a small incident (see related questions) prompted him to invade and occupy the Mexican port of Veracruz for six months in 1914. This invasion brought the two countries to the brink of war and worsened US-Mexico relations for decades to come.

Also, after the town of Columbus, New Mexico was attacked by Mexican outlaw Francisco Villa in 1916, he proceeded to launch a punitive expedition into Mexico, with the intent of capturing and/or killing Villa.

In either case, Mexico was in the middle of its Mexican Revolution (1910-1921), so neither side during the revolution could respond accordingly to such flagrant violation of their sovereignty.
