Answer 1

Answer: B. General John J. Pershing's troops captured Pancho Villa and dispersed the rebels.

Explanation: The expedition was launched in retaliation for Villa's attack on the town of Columbus, New Mexico, and was the most remembered event of the Border War. The expeditions had one objective: to capture Villa dead or alive and put a stop to any future forays by his paramilitary forces on American soil.[2] The official beginning and ending dates of the Mexican Expedition are March 14, 1916, and February 7, 1917.
