9 Apr 1914 Jahr - U.S. troops arrested and detained by Huerta's army
Beschreibung:
Nine U.S. soldiers are arrested and detained by Huerta's army for allegedly entering a prohibited zone in Tampico. Mexico apologizes, but U.S. President Woodrow Wilson sends Marines to the port of Veracruz to "obtain from General Huerta and his adherents the fullest recognition of the rights and dignity of the United States." The invasion inflames anti-American sentiment in Mexico and Huerta flees the capital soon afterward due to ongoing political upheaval.
