@cindyorama5 It's amazing that 60% were hispanics, but it seemed its mostly due to see how loyal they were to US

@cindyorama5 Pancho's continuous defeats seemed to happen at an alarming rate, with the advancement of war tactics and weaponry

@DLady379 @staylorHistory NM went through a lot of criticism for not keeping up with modern capitalism

@YvalizD This is a great post; I did not know this

[Ryan M Pacheco @RyanMPacheco4]

@YvalizD Quite amazing during that period of time Pancho Villa had that amount of influence during the Mexican Revolution.

During the 1920s, problems of poverty and insufficient educational resources continued in New Mexico to the extent that some observers suggested that residents of the state were not impacted by the economic collapse in 1929. #NMHIST

Villa’s forces were decimated by Obregón’s use of modern war tactics that were also employed in World War I, such as barbed wire, trenches, and machine guns. Villa failed to adjust his battle tactics accordingly. #NMHIST

President Woodrow Wilson believed that Villa could be the best hope for American-style democracy in Mexico. #NMHIST

Ironically, in 1913 and 1914 residents of southern New Mexico looked to General Pancho Villa as the revolutionary leader who could restore order along the border and in Mexico generally. #NMHIST

In one iconic photo, Anglo-Americans congregated at the top of an El Paso hotel to get a view of the civil war that was taking place just across the Rio Grande in Ciudad Juárez. #NMHIST

Wealthy and middle-class Americans initially considered the revolution to be something of a spectator sport. #NMHIST

[Ryan M Pacheco @RyanMPacheco4]

Part of the reason for the revolution’s concentration along the international border was that the states of Chihuahua, Sonora, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas had been impacted most directly by U.S. investment and economic control. #NMHIST

[Ryan M Pacheco @RyanMPacheco4]

By early 1911 battles between revolutionary forces and Mexican federales regularly occurred along the border with the United States. #NMHIST

Madero’s Plan de San Luís Potosí called for the initiation of revolution against the aging dictator on November 20, 1910. #NMHIST

Arizona continued to present the strongest opposition to jointure, based heavily on racist feeling toward the idea of including New Mexico’s hispanos and Pueblos among their ranks. #NMHIST

Roosevelt had pledged his aid for statehood to many of the Nuevo Mexicano Rough Riders a decade earlier. #NMHIST

[Ryan M Pacheco @RyanMPacheco4]

At that time, the New Mexico National Guard was about sixty-percent hispanic. #NMHIST

[Ryan M Pacheco @RyanMPacheco4]

Units of the New Mexico National Guard organized and relocated to the border in response to President Wilson’s mobilization of U.S. forces to pursue Pancho Villa into Chihuahua. #NMHIST

[Ryan M Pacheco @RyanMPacheco4]

Statehood was achieved through a series of political dealings in Congress, and residents of New Mexico were left to confront problems of their daily lives, including poverty, discrimination, lack of educational resources, and governmental corruption. #NMHIST

On March 1, 1916, Maud Wright rushed outside her ranch home and about 30 miles from the American dominate town of Pearson, Chihuahua she saw a group of nearly 50 mexican soldiers associated with General Pancho Villa. #NMHIST
