México. -  The historiography is not limited to concrete facts, the person that is devoted to this activity seeks signs, actions, intentions that were not expressed in its time clearly, and they did not let deep fingerprint in that moment, but the researcher seeks the fingerprints of the national and local history, as an echo, is not listened fully, and this is what is certain that finds the historian that that it does not appear of concrete way. It is from vital importance for Latin America the assault on Columbus that accomplished the centaur of the North, Francisco Villa, with "Los Dorados", March 8th, 1916.  It is the first time in The State’s history that a Mexican general with 480 soldiers threatened and fulfilled upon claiming to the Jews that they had sold to him the shipment of bankrupt armament and had lost by such reason several crucial battles. Though already it died the gringos it may have decapitated with cowardice to study it with rancor and racist hatred Wasp. With this action the Yankees are felt humiliated, go to war cold, giving to him support to fight to Venustiano Carranza in the Agua Prieta combat, Sonora. Wilson demonstrates clearly their intentions, upon recognizing to Carranza November 5th, 1915, but Villa reviles it upon publishing a vast manifest declaring it "traitorous to the country", and anticipates that it go to consolidate their government sold to the "Yankees".  Villa recognizes that ever it has sought political posts, neither their chiefs of the army "los dorados". Upon continuing with the history of the general Villa, writes: "While I continued my advance toward the squares located to it lard of the frontier in Sonora, the regulars forces of Carranza are mobilized by American territory in order to assault me and to occupy them before that I. In Nogales, with a cynicism and sauciness that makes to explode in cholera, the American soldiers, to be approached the Carranza regulars’ forces, and they were taken advantage of the confusion, made the American fire on our troops. Upon finding me in Hermosillo I knew that the enemy, counting on the help of the Americans, and would be mobilized by American territory to take Juarez City.  In base to the foregoing I tried to preventing it, since was prejudicing me my provisioning, I directed me Chihuahua State through the Sierra Madre. By far motives that I found me in the road I left me and upon arriving I knew that Juarez City was taken for the enemy.  Though counting on hardened forces and in good number to undertake an energetic beaten in against of the enemy and to throw it would be of the state, that it has known be heroic accounts and each time claims it the welfare of the country, I wanted to try this matter in together to generals to study it carefully." Letter to Zapata "In such meeting all the generals and chiefs of the army that they are to my command we remain convinced fully of the fact that the common enemy for Mexico is currently The States and of the fact that the integrity and independence of our country is on the verge of be lost, if before all the Mexicans not we joined ourselves and with the weapons in the hand we prevented that the sale of the country will be a fact. Because already there has of knowing you the treaties that Carranza celebrated with the government of Washington. In them is committed to relinquish to The States delivering the Magdalena bay by the term of 99 years, as well as the Nationals railways and the Tehuantepec Isthmus, and the grants requested in the oil zone. Furthermore the Estate, Governance and Foreign relationships ministers of the Mexican government should be appointed to pleasure of the White House. To change will be made to him a loan to Carranza of 500 million of dollars, which will cover with the taxes that collect in the land and maritime customs and with the sources of the public revenue, for something which will have to be appointed auditors by the American government." "All over the foregoing will see you, and in such circumstances and by the reasons before exposed we decided not to burn a bullet most with the Mexicans, our brothers. To prepare us and to organize us duly to assault on the Americans in their own burrows and to make them to know that Mexico is free men land and thrones tomb, wreaths and traitorous. In order to put to the keep abreast of people in the situation and to organize and recruit the greater possible number of people with the indicated end, I have divided my army in guerrilla, and each chief will travel the different regions of the country that estimate convenient, while is fulfilled the six month term, that it is indicated it to gather us all in the Chihuahua State with the forces that may have been achieved to recruit and to make the movement that there will be of transporting the union of all the Mexicans. As you are honorable Mexican and patriot, example and pride of our people and runs by their veins Indian blood as our, I am sure of the fact that never will permit that our soil will be sold and also will be prepared to the defense of the country as the movement that we must make thus the The States only it can be carried out by the north, in light of not to have ships, I petition to you says me if is in agreement in be come for here with all their troops and in what date, to have the pleasure of going personally to find it and together to undertake the work of reconstruction and it go to make great to Mexico." Watch out with the Gringos "Being able to challenge and punish our eternal enemy, to which always there has of be encouraging the hatred and provoking difficulties and discord between our culture. The general Sir Eduardo Ocaranza, person of my appreciation and estimate, it is the commissioner to submit this letter to their hands and by the same conduit I request to answer me. Wishing to have the pleasure of giving to you soon a narrow embrace, I repeat me of you companion, attentive friend and sure serving. Francisco Villa".

One of their better and regaled battle was the assault on the Columbus City, New Mexico, achieving the racist hatred Wasp, something which prevented many years that Mexico did not put his name on gold letters on the legislators House, due to the fact that would recognize the debt of the Yankees.
