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.

What did Woodrow Wilson think could lead to another world war?
After the Treaty of Versailles 1919, they were not allowed to have a military force. They had to give up some of their territory (a major cause of WWII), and they were forced to pay reparations for the damages to other countries and for their war costs (another cause of WWII). I am not sure why the holocaust would be avoidable other than Hitler felt that many of the problems facing Germany were as a result of the Jewish people. He felt getting rid of them would be a (final) solution to the troubles remaining from WWI.

How did Woodrow Wilson demonstrate progressive ideals?
Wilson was a leading Progressive, arguing for a stronger central government and fighting for anti-trust legislation and labor rights. As president of the United States, he passed important legislation on those and many other issues, winning by a very small margin in the reelection in 1916 after saying he would keep America out of World War I. Wilson's Fourteen Points-a statement of national objectives that envisioned a new international order after World War I-ultimately failed, but was one of the clearest expressions of interventionist American values.
Wilson ran in 1912 under a platform known as the "New Freedom," in which he pledged to reintroduce real competition to the marketplace by destroying monopolistic economic trusts. In practice, however, his actions quickly came to look like the "regulated monopoly" of Republican candidate Theodore Roosevelt, and few trusts were dissolved during his tenure. Though he achieved passage of a 1914 measure to create a Federal Trade Commission, the regulatory body became co-opted by business interests just like the Interstate Commerce Commission before it. Wilson lowered the tariff, introduced the income tax, and instituted the Federal Reserve System to reform the national economy.

President Woodrow Wilson's administration used the Espionage Act of 1917 to suppress dissent and restrict anti-war activities during World War I. The Act criminalized actions deemed harmful to the U.S. war effort, leading to the prosecution of individuals who criticized the government or the military. Notably, it was used to target socialist and labor leaders, such as Eugene V. Debs, who spoke out against the war. This enforcement exemplified Wilson's commitment to maintaining national unity and support for the war amidst growing opposition.
