Respuesta :

The Correct Answer Is D

Answer:

d. All of the above

Explanation:

Needing supplies amid the Mexican Revolution, Pancho Villa drove his men in an attack over the outskirt into the United States, at Columbus, New Mexico. The assault immediately swelled into a full-scale fight when they experienced the U.S. mounted force. In the wake of continuing enormous misfortunes, Villa was compelled to withdraw to Mexico.  

The strike rapidly turned into a savage fight when U.S. troops, driven by Lieutenant Ralph Lucas, battled once again from the army with automatic rifles. A second separation of U.S. officers, told by Lieutenant James Castleman, propelled a counterattack, which constrained Villa and his men to withdraw. They were sought after by U.S. cavalrymen back over the outskirt into Mexico. The strike was a calamity for the Mexicans, with Villa's powers suffering tremendous losses. In light of the attacks, U.S. powers later attacked Mexico at Carrizal, trying to capture Pancho Villa.
