mar 11, 1913 - U.S. president doesn't recognize Mexico

Description:

On March 11th, Wilson announced that the U.S. would only recognize constitutionally and morally-established governments, and would not accept those that came to power through violence. Ambassador Wilson and Huerta did not believe that President Wilson would refuse recognition solely on moral grounds. The entire world believed that the U.S. would eventually accept Huerta. By July, most of Latin America and Europe had recognized him, as did China and Japan. Wilson, however, still refused even though U.S. businessmen in Mexico petitioned the president to accept the regime.
