From wikipedia: <br /> <br /> The Mexican Border War13 or the Border Campaign14 refers to the military engagements which took place in the Mexico–United States border region of North America during the Mexican Revolution. The war's time period encompassed World War I during which Germany attempted to have Mexico attack the United States and engaged in hostilities against American forces there itself. The Border War was the fifth and latest major conflict fought on American soil where its predecessors were the American Revolutionary War War of 1812 Mexican–American War 1846–1848 and the American Civil War. The end of the Mexican Revolution on 1 December 1920 marked the close of the American Frontier. The Bandit War15 in Texas was part of the Border War. 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 federals. 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 an 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. The revolutionary himself escaped and the American army returned to the United States in January 1917. Conflict at the border continued however and the United States launched several additional though smaller operations into Mexican territory until after the American victory in the Battle of Ambos Nogales in August 1918 leading to the establishment of a permanent border wall.16 Conflict was not only subject to Villistas and Americans; Maderistas Carrancistas Constitutionalistas and Germans also engaged in battle with American forces during this period. n.p. unknown
