Why Woodrow Wilson's fourteen points doomed to fail?
Because it was - wherever possible - even-handed. Wilson foresaw that a peace treaty that would only be out to 'punish' defeated Germany would cause great problems later on. And history proved Wilson right. Wilson however quickly discovered that England and France were out for revenge only. And these two countries held the moral high ground that it was they who had suffered the loss of hundreds of thousands of men and (in the case of France) who had suffered the immense ravaging of its country, and who had borne most of the war expenses on the Allied side.
Outnumbered two to one and knowing that his country and politicians wanted out of further involvement in European affairs anyway, Wilson quickly left the handling of the peace negotiations to a representative which further diminished the USA's chances of ever getting its Fourteen Points accepted.

Why did Woodrow Wilson send US Marines to Latin America?
The famous bandit-turned-revolutionary Pancho Villa was opposing the Mexican government of Venustiano Carranza, which had been recognized by the US. His troops killed 17 US employees of the Mexican railway, and Villa later attacked and burned part of the town of Columbus, New Mexico.
President Woodrow Wilson thought that supporting Carranza was the best way to create a stable Mexican government. He refused to allow arms to be supplied to Villa's army and allowed US railroads to transport Carranza's troops. After the attack on Columbus, Wilson ordered General John J. Pershing and 4800 troops to hunt for Villa and his men. Unfortunately, Villa had hidden and lost few men. The expedition ended after several engagements between the US troops and Mexican federal troops, even though both armies were ostensibly chasing Villa.
