tafts dollar diplomacy
make countries dependent on the u.s. by heavily investing in their economies. use this influence to pressure countries to adopt democratic structures.
in manchuria, china, taft believed that whoever controlled the railroads also controlled the economy. he tried to work out a deal to allow american investors to purchase the railroad, but was embarrassingly rejected.
taft encouraged investment in latin american countries like honduras and haiti.
wilsons moral diplomacy
wilson was a critic of imperialism and the policies of taft & roosevelt. his vision for u.s. foreign policy was based on morality. he wanted to give support to countries whose values aligned with americas.
he believed that if the u.s. placed an economic strain on undemocratic countries, they would shift their values and transform into democratic nations.
ironically, wilson ended up getting even more involved in latin america than his predecessors, including involvement in nicaragua & mexico.
