The US invaded Mexico first during the Occupation of Veracruz (April 12, 1914 - November 23, 1914) and then during a "punitive expedition" (March 14, 1916 - February 7, 1917) to catch Francisco "Pancho" Villa.
The revolutionaries (who fought against Mexican federal troops).
Nothing; Mexico was in the middle of its Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). That is the reason the Pershing Punitive Expedition (1916-1917) was carried out, and Mexico was unable to prevent the entry of American troops into its territory.
Yes. The Mexican topography (i.e.: Mexico is pretty hilly) and timing of such revolution (1910-1922) prevented the widespread use of other kind of vehicles. Also railroads were widely used to transport troops and equipment, specially on the Mexican northern states.
King George the 3rd was king, and he sent his British troops out to war in the American Revolution.

He didn't really understand what was going on in Mexico. He thought by invading Mexico he would actually help the people during the Mexican Revolution. However, when American troops landed in the port of Veracruz, both sides of the revolution saw this as another example of foreign interventionism in Mexico, and damaged the US-Mexican relations for decades.
He was the main antagonist during the first phase of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). After federal troops lost several battles against the revolutionaries, he decided to flee Mexico and exile himself in France.

Which U.S. president refused to recognize General Huerta as the leader of Mexico during the revolution
The Alamo was a battle during the Texas Revolution (1825-1836) when Texas split up from Mexico to become independent. It is known as the turning point of the revolution, because it became a massacre of American colonists at the hands of Mexican troops. It infuriated many Southerners, who joined the ranks of American separatists, thus ensuring the success of the revolution.
They called American troops "Gringos"
No. Mexican troops have never fought against English nor British troops.
Not really: the US ambassador co-conspirated with General Victoriano Huerta to stage a coup d'état against Mexican president Francisco Madero. This resulted in the assassination of Madero in 1913 and almost 8 years of continuous warfare between several warlords for control of Mexico. This is known as the second stage of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). Also during the revolution, American troops were deployed at the Mexican city of Veracruz (1914), and on northern Mexico (1917). These put both the US and Mexico at the brink of war, if not by the successful diplomatic intervention of Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
