After Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, NM, US Army General John J. Pershing was commissioned to capture Villa in a nine-month pursuit that unsuccessfully ended when Gen. Pershing was called back.

Mexican leaders Venustiano Carranza and Victoriano Huerta felt such pursuit was an indirect invasion of Mexican soil, bout couldn't oppose effectively as they were fighting each other during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921).
