Woodrow Wilson's administration signed treaties with thirty Latin American nations to provide a means for quickly addressing conflicts. Attempting to soothe lingering ill-feelings in Colombia over Theodore Roosevelt's encouraging the Panamanian revolution of 1903, Wilson negotiated a treaty with reparations, but it was rejected by the U.S. Senate. Under Wilson, the United States tried but was unsuccessful in bringing stability to Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. The United States had to intervene and maintain military occupation in Haiti and the Dominican Republic in 1915 and 1916.
The foreign policy that U.S. President Woodrow Wilson used in Latin America was called the Missionary Diplomacy. The highlights of this policy is as follows:
- moral responsibility to not recognize any Latin American country seen as oppressive, undemocratic, or hostile to the United States.
- used to enter Mexico to try to capture Francisco "Poncho" Villa
He believed that the U.S. had a moral obligation to promote democracy in Latin America. He also believed that mending fences with Colombia was necessary. Based on the so-called "bad deal" of the Panama Canal, Wilson sent Colombia several million dollars.
