Autocratic rule, serfdom and defeat in the Crimean War circumstances were a major cause of Russian weakness in the mid-1800s.
<u>Answer:</u> Option A, D and F
<u>Explanation:</u>
Russia and most of Europe were in a state of animosity when Alexander I took the throne in March 1801. Russia appeared as the largest land force in Europe, and the first of the European victors over Napoleon. In such initiatives the enormous prestige gained was retained until the mid-century.
However, the Crimean War between 1853–56 showed this giant had clay feet. Under very mediocre rule, the massive empire was unable to raise, arm and bring enough troops to overpower the medium-sized French and English powers. Nicholas suffered in the bitter awareness of failure at large.
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan came into office with little experience in foreign relations but with a determination to base their policy on moral principles rather than the selfish materialism that they believed had animated their predecessors' programs. Convinced that democracy was gaining strength throughout the world, they were eager to encourage the process. In 1916, the Democratic-controlled Congress promised the residents of the Philippine Islands independence; the next year, Puerto Rico achieved territorial status, and its residents became U.S. citizens. Working closely with Secretary of State Bryan, Wilson signed twenty-two bilateral treaties which agreed to cooling-off periods and outside fact-finding commissions as alternatives to war.
In a statement issued soon after taking office, Wilson declared that the United States hoped “to cultivate the friendship and deserve the confidence” of the Latin American states, but he also emphasized that he believed “just government” must rest “upon the consent of the governed.” Latin American states were hopeful for the prospect of being free to conduct their own affairs without American interference, but Wilson's insistence that their governments be democratic undermined the promise of self-determination. In 1915, Wilson responded to chronic revolution in Haiti by sending in American marines to restore order, and he did the same in the Dominican Republic in 1916. The military occupations that followed failed to create the democratic states that were their stated objective. In 1916, Wilson practiced an old-fashioned form of imperialism by buying the Virgin Islands from their colonial master, Denmark, for $25 million.
