Some Americans wanted President Woodrow Wilson to intervene in the Mexican Revolution due to concerns over American investments and property in Mexico, which were threatened by the unrest. Additionally, there was a desire to promote democracy and stability in the region, as well as to counter the influence of leaders like Victoriano Huerta, whom many saw as a dictator. The belief that American intervention could help establish a more favorable government aligned with U.S. interests also motivated these sentiments.
Wilson generally favored Venustiano Carranza in the Mexican civil wars.
Woodrow Wilson.
President Woodrow Wilson intervened in the Mexican Revolution. He initially sought to promote democracy and stability in Mexico but became involved militarily, notably with the 1914 occupation of Veracruz. Wilson's intervention was motivated by concerns over American interests and the safety of U.S. citizens in Mexico during the tumultuous period. His actions, however, complicated U.S.-Mexico relations and were met with mixed reactions both domestically and internationally.
Pancho Villa.
President Woodrow Wilson's moral diplomacy faced a serious challenge in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. His commitment to promoting democracy and human rights clashed with the complexities of the Mexican political situation, particularly when he intervened in the conflict by supporting certain factions and opposing others. The most notable instance was the U.S. Navy's occupation of Veracruz in 1914, which aimed to prevent German arms from reaching the Mexican government but ultimately strained U.S.-Mexican relations and highlighted the limitations of Wilson's idealistic approach to foreign policy.

Following the overthrow of Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1911, President Woodrow Wilson initially adopted a policy of watchful waiting, hoping for a stable democratic government to emerge in Mexico. However, as the Mexican Revolution progressed and violence escalated, Wilson became increasingly involved, supporting the constitutionalist faction led by Francisco Madero. Ultimately, Wilson's administration intervened militarily in Mexico, notably during the occupation of Veracruz in 1914, in response to escalating tensions and threats to American interests. This intervention was part of Wilson's broader aim to promote democracy and stability in the region.
