How did Latin Americans view Wilson's moral imperialism?

Latin Americans generally viewed Wilson's moral Imperialism with skepticism and concern. While Wilson promoted ideals of democracy and self-determination, many saw his interventions in the region as a form of paternalism and a justification for U.S. interventionism, undermining their sovereignty. The inconsistencies between Wilson's rhetoric and U.S. actions—such as military interventions in Mexico and the Caribbean—led to disillusionment and resentment among Latin American nations. Ultimately, his policies were often perceived as a continuation of imperialistic practices rather than a genuine commitment to promoting democracy.
