Question

Which of the following would have been part of the fundamental strategy and goals of President Wilson's Missionary Diplomacy?

1) heavy financial investment in Europe
2) extra military intervention in the pacific
3) defend against attacks by enemy nations
4) spread democracy to Africa and Latin America

Answer 1

Spread of democracy to Latin America and Africa--Wilson believed democracy was the best form of government and the US were the beacons of the information to be successful.

Wilson pushed for self-determination of countries and wanted to end imperial holdings in the world allowing for countries to "choose" democracy and have a voice in their government. He believed the US could aid in the transition and this is why he wanted a League of Nations created after World War I.
