President Woodrow Wilson withdrew American troops from Mexico in 1917 primarily due to the shifting focus of U.S. foreign policy towards the escalating situation in Europe during World War I. The military expedition, initially aimed at capturing rebel leader Pancho Villa following his attack on Columbus, New Mexico, faced increasing criticism and strain on U.S.-Mexico relations. Additionally, with the need to prepare for U.S. involvement in the war, Wilson prioritized resources and attention towards supporting the Allies rather than engaging in conflicts in Mexico.

President Woodrow Wilson decided to withdraw U.S. troops from Mexico in 1917 primarily due to the growing need to focus on World War I. The U.S. had initially sent troops to Mexico in 1916 to pursue revolutionary leader Pancho Villa after his raid on Columbus, New Mexico. However, as the war in Europe intensified and the U.S. prepared to enter the conflict, Wilson prioritized military resources and attention towards supporting the Allies. Additionally, diplomatic pressures and the desire to avoid further conflict with Mexico contributed to the decision to withdraw.
