I am confused ><

Wilson ordered the invasion of Haiti. Look at the July 29, l915 date in the site above.

Answer 1

Apologies for any confusion caused. The troubled Caribbean island nation where President Wilson sent in the Marines and assumed American control of the police and finances is Haiti, not Mexico. In 1915, President Wilson ordered the invasion of Haiti due to political and economic instability on the island. You can find more information about this event on the provided website link, specifically looking at the date July 29, 1915.
