What happened at Veracruz?

Answer 1

The Veracruz incident refers to the U.S. naval occupation of the Mexican port city of Veracruz in 1914, during the Mexican Revolution. Tensions escalated after the U.S. arrested a group of American sailors, leading to President Woodrow Wilson ordering a military intervention. The occupation lasted for several months, resulting in significant conflict and casualties, and it further strained U.S.-Mexico relations. The event highlighted the complexities of U.S. interventions in Latin America during that era.
