Was Missionary Diplomacy effective in Mexico?

Missionary Diplomacy, primarily associated with President Woodrow Wilson, aimed to promote democracy and moral governance in Mexico, particularly during the Mexican Revolution. However, its effectiveness was limited; while it sought to support democratic elements, it often led to increased tensions and resentment among Mexicans towards U.S. intervention. The approach did not yield the desired stability or democratic reforms, and ultimately, U.S. actions were more often viewed as imperialistic rather than genuinely supportive. Overall, the strategy had mixed results and contributed to a complicated U.S.-Mexico relationship.
