Did the United States attack Pancho Villa after his attack on Columbus New Mexico?
where did pancho villa live Yes. General John "Black Jack" Pershing, a hero of the Spanish-American War, led a US expeditionary force into Mexico to destroy Pancho Villa. There was fighting, and a young lieutenant named George Patton made a name for himself by killing an enemy general, but the US Army was slowed by the difficult terrain. Pershing had trucks, but there were few roads, and most of his supplies moved by mule train. Pancho Villa had little worry that Pershing would catch him. With World War 1 coming, the expedition was recalled, and Pershing later became General of the Armies, the only general in the history of the US Army to attain this rank. Pancho Villa later retired from his revolutionary endeavors, and he was assassinated by fellow Mexicans.
