Pancho Villa Expedition
The Pancho Villa Expedition (also called the Punitive Expedition) was an abortive military operation conducted by the United States against the military forces of Pancho Villa from 1916 to 1917. The expedition was in retaliation for Villa's invasion of the United States and attack on the village of Columbus, New Mexico in Luna County during the Mexican Revolution.
