What happened when pancho villa attacked columbus, new mexico?

The Raid on Columbus was an attack by the rebels of the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa on the American border town of Columbus in 1916.

There are several explanations for Villa's motives to attack the United States. It has sometimes been suggested that he was persuaded by Germany to attack, so as to keep the United States occupied so that it could not interfere with the First World War. More likely, however, is that Villa's attack was prompted by the recognition of his opponent Venustiano Carranza as president of Mexico by the US government.

Villa attacked the village around noon. His men robbed banks, plundered, raped, started fires and attacked part of the American cavalry. At the beginning of the evening they left again with captured gold and guns, before reinforcements could arrive. For the United States, the attack prompted the Pancho Villa expedition, with US troops trying in vain to get hold of Villa in Mexico.

The attack on Columbus was the last attack on American territory until the attack on Pearl Harbor.
