The answer to this question involves analyzing historical events and the motivations behind the involvement of the United States in Mexico's civil war. Let's go through each option and see which ones apply.
1) Relations had weakened between the United States and the new government: This statement is accurate. The United States had growing concerns about the stability and actions of the Mexican government during its civil war. The strained relations were based on various factors, including disagreements over trade, foreign policies, and the treatment of American citizens and businesses.
2) Mexico was unable to end the war without U.S. intervention: This statement is not entirely accurate. Mexico had its own internal conflicts and struggled to find a resolution to the civil war. However, there is no evidence to suggest that Mexico explicitly sought or required U.S. intervention to end the war.
3) The United States provided troops to support the leader Wilson preferred: This statement is partially true. President Woodrow Wilson did express a preference for constitutionalist leader Venustiano Carranza over other Mexican factions during the civil war. However, the United States did not send troops solely to support Carranza. American intervention was primarily driven by concerns for national security and protecting American lives and interests.
4) Mexican soldiers arrested a group of American sailors: This statement is accurate. In early 1914, Mexican soldiers arrested a group of American sailors in the port of Tampico. While the sailors were released soon after, the incident sparked outrage in the United States and contributed to the decision to intervene.
So, the correct options are: 1) Relations had weakened between the United States and the new government and 4) Mexican soldiers arrested a group of American sailors.
I disagree.
