Answer 1

Answer: A

Answer 2

Answer: B

Answer 3

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Wilson was convinced that the United States had to expand its exports and investments abroad and that U.S. dominance of the Caribbean was strategically necessary.
2. He also held the racist belief that Latin Americans were inferior and needed paternalistic guidance from the United States.
3. His Caribbean interventions included incursions into Haiti, where U.S. troops remained until 1934; the Dominican Republic, where the marines ousted Dominican officials and set up a military government; and Cuba, where American troops remained for five years.
4. The United States also had a long-running border dispute with Mexico that led to U.S. interference with the Mexican government and fights with the Mexican army.
5. His self-righteousness and determination to transform the behavior of other peoples led his policies to be dubbed missionary diplomacy, but they also contained elements of Roosevelt's commitment to military force and Taft's reliance on economic power.

Answer 4

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The U.S. interventions often were not effective in restoring short-term order because U.S. troops often had to remain in-country for decades.
2. In the long term, these interventions were effective in increasing and maintaining U.S. power and influence in the region.
3. The objectives were increased U.S. control, influence, and power in Latin America.
4. The consequences were the destruction of native governments in those countries and in some cases the support of oppressive regimes.
