Wilsonianism is often termed to the administration of U. S's 28th president Woodrow Wilson.

Explanation:

Wilsonianism as an approach to American foreign policy attributes to the set of ideas introduced by Woodrow Wilson during his presidency. The fundamental aim of his foreign policy was to promote the values of democracy and liberalism throughout the world.

In its quest towards national self-determination, the foreign policy of Wlisonianism directed towards advocating against imperialists elements by European powers. During the period between 1913 to 1916, Wilson intervened in numerous national revolutions and certain occupations towards setting up democratic values was also took place. It also denounced various imperialists expeditions and tried to establish the principles of Monroe Doctrine.

However, the the quest to promote Wilsonianism did not always go according to its principles. Various forced occupations had to be enforced at some regions and countries. This was, perhaps, not what Wilson's administration policy actually advocated.
