Pancho Villa Expedition: When America Entered the Mexican Revolution

In 1916, Pancho Villa crossed the border to attack the US town of Columbus, NM. In retaliation, Woodrow Wilson ordered an American invasion of north Mexico - thereby dragging Washington into the Mexican Revolution (for the second time). It was notable for being the final time cavalry paid an important part in a US military action. Mexican history seems to do well, and we can also cover Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus - the last time anyone successfully invaded the continental US.
