U.S. intervention in Mexico

U.S. intervention in Mexico refers to various military, political, and economic actions taken by the United States over the past century, often aiming to influence Mexico’s government or protect American interests. Notable examples include the 1914 occupation of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution, and earlier military interventions during internal conflicts. These interventions were driven by factors such as safeguarding trade routes, preventing conflicts from spreading, and promoting U.S. political or economic goals. While some interventions were limited in scope, they reflect a history of U.S. involvement aimed at shaping Mexico’s stability and policies in ways beneficial to American strategic interests.
