Pancho Villa's Raid on Columbus, New Mexico
The Mexican Revolution’s battleground, previously in Mexico, has finally moved to the United States. Mexican general Pancho Villa led a group of Mexican soldiers into the small town of Columbus, New Mexico that escalated into an intense battle with the U.S. Army. Despite Pancho Villa’s audacity, his army got slaughtered and the U.S. only lost 8 troops. Villa’s raid was a tactical disaster and led to the U.S. army to respond by entering Mexico to search for Villa.
