what were the problems with Moral Diplomacy? it sucks!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.106.31.21 (talk) 23:19, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that wasn't helpful, neither is the article. It looks like the answer to a 9th-grade history class worksheet. Speedy delete until something more wiki-suitable comes around? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.62.51 (talk) 22:26, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this needs fixing![edit]

First I tagged it, then I tried to have it speedy deleted, then I stripped out the worst of its rubbish and repetition. Now someone else can have a go. --Greenmaven (talk) 10:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Last paragraph[edit]

I suggest altering the last paragraph. The last sentence is incorrect; Huerta resigned the presidency on July 15, 1914, but Wilson did not extend de facto recognition to Carranza until October 19, 1915, which is definitely not "immediately." U.S. presidential terms ended on March 4 until the 20th amendment changed that to January 20, which is why Taft is involved here.

Wilson had international problems, particularly in Mexico. Mexico had seen a series of revolutions since 1910. Americans with mining and other interests in Mexico at times wanted U.S. intervention to protect their interests. When Victoriano Huerta deposed Francisco I. Madero and assumed the Mexican presidency on February 20, 1913, President Taft did not recognize his government, but would have done so if Huerta had acceded to demands for protection of American interests previously made to President Madero in a telegram of September 15, 1912.[1] President Wilson refused to recognize Huerta because he had illegally seized power and refused proposals for free elections. [2] Other countries supported Huerta mainly due to his open policies toward foreign investment.[3] In April 1914, Mexican officials in Tampico arrested a few American sailors who blundered into a prohibited area, and Wilson used the incident to justify ordering the U.S. Navy to occupy the port city of Veracruz. [4] The move greatly weakened Huerta's control, and he resigned on July 15, 1914. [5] Civil war ensued, ending with victories by the Constitutionalists and President Wilson's the de facto recognition of Carranza on October 19, 1915. [6]
