In 1916 Pancho Villa led a force of 1,500 guerillas attacking the U.S. border town of Columbus, New Mexico. They killed 19 people and burned the town. The U.S. sent General John Pershing and 6,000 troops into Mexico to capture Pancho Villa. Although they were unable to capture him during a 3 year effort, Pancho Villa did not attack any more U.S. towns.
Pancho Villa's favorite drink was tequila, particularly the variety produced in the region of Jalisco, Mexico. He was known to enjoy it during celebrations and gatherings with his troops. Villa often associated tequila with camaraderie and the spirit of the Mexican Revolution.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson sent General John J. Pershing and U.S. troops into Mexico to capture the revolutionary leader Pancho Villa, who had attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico. This military expedition, known as the Punitive Expedition, aimed to apprehend Villa but ultimately failed to do so. It strained U.S.-Mexico relations and highlighted the complexities of U.S. intervention in Mexican affairs. The expedition lasted nearly a year, and the troops eventually withdrew without achieving their primary objective.
General John Pershing was sent to command the Pancho Villa Expedition tasked with capturing Villa. It was the US Army's response to Pancho Villa's 1916-1917 raids on US territory. The expedition was unsuccessful.
In 1916, in retaliation for Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico, and the death of 16 American citizens, President Wilson sent General John J. Pershing and 10,000 US troops into Mexico to capture Villa. This punitive expedition was unsuccessful.
