Mexican Border War (1910–1919)
The Mexican Border War, also known as the Border Campaign, refers to a series of military engagements which took place between the United States military and several Mexican factions in the Mexican–American border region of North America during the Mexican Revolution. From the beginning of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, the United States Army was stationed in force along the border and, on several occasions, fought with Mexican rebels or regular federal troops. The height of the conflict came in 1916 when revolutionary Pancho Villa attacked the American border town of Columbus, New Mexico. In response, the United States Army, under the direction of General John J. Pershing, launched a punitive expedition into northern Mexico, to find and capture Villa. Although Villa was not captured, the US Army found and engaged the Villista rebels, killing Villa's two top lieutenants.

United States Involvement In The Mexican Revolution
The United States involvement in the Mexican Revolution was varied and seemingly contradictory, first supporting and then repudiating Mexican regimes during the period 1910–1920.Friedrich Katz, ''The Secret War in Mexico: Europe, the United States, and the Mexican Revolution.'' Chicago: University of Chicago Press 1981, p. 563. For both economic and political reasons, the U.S. government generally supported those who occupied the seats of power, but could withhold official recognition. The U.S. supported the regime of Porfirio Díaz (1876–1880; 1884–1911) after initially withholding recognition since he came to power by coup. In 1909, Díaz and U.S. President Taft met in Ciudad Juárez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. Prior to Woodrow Wilson's inauguration on March 4, 1913, the U.S. Government focused on just warning the Mexican military that decisive action from the U.S. military would take place if lives and property of U.S. nationals living in the country were en ...

Plan Of San Diego
The Plan of San Diego () was a plan drafted in San Diego, Texas, in January of 1915, by a "friend" of Basilio Ramos Jr., Augustin S. Garza, and A. A. Saenz, along with six unidentified Hueristas, who would end up signing the document. The group of Mexican and Tejano rebels hoped to seize Arizona, New Mexico, California, Colorado, and most importantly Texas, in order to create an independent Libertarian republic for Mexicans and Tejanos, from the United States. The plan also called for neighboring states of those aforementioned to be seized by those of African and Japanese descent in order to create republics in the same organizational structure of the Hispanic state envisioned by the plan. The plan also included promises to the Indigenous people who resided in these lands to have their land returned to them, regardless of their participation in the plan, or lack thereof. It called for a general uprising in February, 1915, with the mass killings of every non-Hispanic Cauca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
