Abstract

Abstract:

The principle of national self-determination, first seen in the Philippine policy of the Wilson Administration and taking shape in the period of American interference with the Mexican revolution, was put forth officially in 1917. It was an outcome of the diplomacy of new democracy initiated by the United States in order to realize its transition from extensive territorial expansion to intensive politico-economical expansion. The Wilson Administration failed to settle the postwar colonial issue in an attempt to expand the U. S. political system with a help of the principle of national self-determination. Facts proved that the national self-determination was an extension of Monroeism to meet with the need of American political expansion in the early twentieth century.

Key words: Wilson, national self-detennination, political expansion, U. S. A
