28 dic 1913 anni - Huerta sends sailors to visit U.S.

Descrizione:

Beginning in 1913, after President Madero was assassinated, the U.S. stationed a few naval vessels at the Bay of Tampico for investigation purposes. The U.S. Navy gathered intelligence on Carranza’s rebellion against Huerta and protected the interests of U.S. citizens living on Mexico’s Gulf Coast. British, French and Spanish ships with inspection teams were also stationed in Tampico. Although foreign military in Mexican waters blatantly infringed on Mexico’s self-rule, Huerta did nothing except send his own sailors from the Zaragoza cannon ship to visit U.S. commanders.
