The US respond to Villa's actions by The Pershing expedition

Explanation:

Since 1910 the Mexican revolution was causing utter destruction. In 1916, a leader named "Pancho" Villa crossed the Mexico border entered U. S and burnt down the Columbus town. It was actually an act of revenge that he wanted to take as Venustiano Carranza was declared as President of Mexico surpassing him.

Villa raided and took materials of war as he was desperate to take over the ammunition's and create a stir among the American government. This raid of Columbus definitely drew the attraction of the U. S. to wage a war against Mexico. The U. S responded by sending troops led by General Pershing in search of Villa which was unsuccessful.
