Encyclopedia: Pancho Villa Expedition

The Pancho Villa Expedition (also called the Punitive Expedition, officially known in the United States as the Mexican Expedition) was an abortive military operation conducted by the United States Army against the military forces of Francisco "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. The United States Army Center of Military History officially refers to the campaign as the Mexican Expedition. The official beginning and ending dates are March 14, 1916 and February 7, 1917.
