Correct Answer

verifed

- Consequences: Wilson's heavy-handed military interference in Mexico caused lasting mistrust between the two nations.In 1916,General Pancho Villa stirred up trouble on the U.S.-Mexico border,killing sixteen American civilians and raiding the town of Columbus,New Mexico.Wilson sent eleven thousand troops under General John J.Pershing across the border after Villa.Soon Pershing's force resembled an army of occupation.Mexican public opinion demanded withdrawal,and armed clashes broke out between U.S.and Mexican troops.At the brink of war,both governments backed off,and U.S.forces withdrew.
