Responding to the legitimate grievances of the peoples of Mexico, China, and Russia, Wilson sought to direct revolution away from radical demands and into the paths of Liberal capitalism. Wilson sought thereby to avoid the counter-revolutionary reaction which inevitably follows on the heels of radical revolution. When revolutions proved unwilling to yield to his direction, particularly in the case of the Russian revolution, Wilson responded with incomprehension. The Bolsheviks had to be German agents, for instance, if they refused his guidance. Gardner makes a point of emphasizing Wilson's attempt to maintain control of the revolutions which he confronted.
