Today we finished chapter 10.The Dollar diplomacy. We want week south military. Dollar is the key word of the dollar diplomacy. Horwed Haft was hand picked by Roosevelt. Taft was not liked. Instead going directly into the military we would slowly take control of the country. “Substituting dollars for bullets". In stead of fighting them we invest in with money.The Williston’s missionary diplomacy. This was used to promote democracy. It was used in latten America. If we refuse to recognize a country in power and countries that are bad to the U.S. if you reuse a country it is a bad thing. The example of missionary diplomacy and the dollar diplomacy is.The issues with latten American. They had very unstable governments. The Mexico issues were bad. We invaded them in. in 1910- Diaz was in power he was pro us. We were under control of them he invited use to go take over their mines. Madero was in power for a few days and killed by Huerta. Huerta was part of the missionary Diplomacy. Huerta captured 14. He then let them go. Huerta then lost his power. Quronza comes in owner in 1913. He was also pro U.S. he upset. Pochio villa came in was a bad guy. He invited 14 Americans to look at mines. He then killed these 14 Americans. He crossed the Mexican American border and murdered another 14 Americans. We then invade and got in contact with the Mexico military. The U.S. military wanted to capture Poncho Villa so they invaded Mexico. .We ended with a little information on how WW1 started. We never captured him. Ww1 is about to happen and war was prevented WW1 happened because of the zimmernin note was meant to get Mexico to go agents the U.S. and side with Germany. We found out and stopped them.I think that what the people did just to be in power was a horrible thing. I would never be able to live under a ruler like that.
